Old Union Art Project

Hey blog. Still reeling (get it) about the Oscars, don't worry. But my late night contemplations (really it was more like early morning) regarding Boots Riley has adequately motivated me to share parts of a final project from a class I took last semester called Economics and Literature. I made 60's inspired advertisements for union membership. These pictures are cropped really badly. Prepare yourself.

Some inspo:

Think Jenny Holzer truisms, Guerrilla Girls advertising, mandatory workplace compliance posters, and vintage thought-provoking ads. 

Ok I lied. This first one clearly isn't about union membership. It's meant to loosely explain minimax- a decision making rule. Look really close if you want to read an attempt to explain this concept but from the point of view of someone really trying to sell it to you.

 Union girls are It girls. That's it.

This one was my favorite!! The next ones are a little less vintage ad inspired and more similar to Guerrilla Girls/Jenny Holzer.

Words borrowed from Jenny.

This one is very clearly inspired by GG! I love how their work directly asks audiences to engage and contemplate <3

#savetheunions I'll revisit this eventually I think. For now thats it. Bye blog.
