The Design of Dissent is a global collection of socially and politically driven graphics on issues including Black Lives Matter, Trump protests, refugee crises, and the environment.
Dissent is an essential part of keeping democratic societies healthy, and our ability as citizens to voice our opinions is not only our privilege, it is our responsibility. Most importantly,
it is a human right , one which must be fervently fought for, protected, and defended.
Many of the issues and conflicts
visited in the first edition of this book remain vividly present today, as simmering, sometimes throbbing reminders of how the work of democracy and pace of social change is often incremental, requiring patience, diligence, hope, and
the continuing brave voices of designers whose skillful imagery emboldens, invigorates, and girds us in the face of struggle.
The 160+ new works in this edition
document the Arab Spring , the Obama presidency, Occupy Wall Street,
Black Lives Matter , the election of
Donald Trump , Putin’s continuing influence, the Women’s March, the ongoing refugee crises,
immigration , environment and humanitarian issues, and much more. This powerful collection, totaling well
over 550 images , stands not only as a testament to the power of design but as an urgent call to action.
