In today´s world, multinational corporations have become modern-day conquistadors. Using the I.M.F., the World Bank, the W.T.O., N.A.F.T.A., and the F.T.A.A., transnational corporations have become more powerful than many countries. Setting up global assembly lines, these corporate giants have moved freely around the world forcing countries, rich and poor, to surrender their land, resources, and labor. In the process, corporations have poisoned the environment, destroyed labor laws, and made massive profits shifting wealth from the global south to the industrialized north.
Collecting poster artwork from 25 individuals and collectives, SAW wants to look at how corporate globalization has affected our world, how it has impacted the land, and how people are fighting back. This collection represents artists from 10 different countries and over 20 different cities. These posters illustrate specific struggles in countries like Brazil and the United States, and they also tackle international issues around poverty and gentrification. Along with a strong critique of imperialism, the posters show how communities throughout the world are resisting corporate power for a more just and sustainable world - whether it's opposing I-69, Coca Cola, Shasta Dam or whether it's supporting rights to collective housing, Brazil's worker movement, or protecting your home.
This is a global wheat paste project to publicly display these posters and the funding comes from selling them to people like you. So drop some cash so these can be distributed globally!
