For the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Amnesty International organised a month-long exhibition focusing specifically on Article 19: Right to freedom of opinion and expression.
I worked with Free Press Unlimited and Bits of Freedom to create two posters that look at the influence of technology on Article 19. The final exhibition was held in the Domkerk in Utrecht, during the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
The posters work in direct response to each other. The white poster shows seemingly positive news about technology.
Once you come a little closer the texts reveal a darker side of the story hidden beneath the words. The red poster zooms in on this, but fragments of the text are hidden in plain sight on the white poster, which was presented on a large A1 format.
