A Brief History of Outrage documents the public interventions and agitprop of Think Again (David John Attyah and S.A. Bachman) an artist-activist collaborative that recruits artmaking in the service of political action. The above slogans have appeared on Think Again's mural-sized posters, mobile billboards and postcards, all of which were deployed in places that catch the public eye. Treading a fine line between critique and action, and employing the graphic strategies of the advertising industry while subverting their lingo, Think Again wages a visual war against political indifference. Featuring 52 color photographs and digital collages that tackle a full array of political issues, from race justice to structural violence against women, from hate crimes to the war on terrorism.
Remember: ADVERTISING WORKS BECAUSE YOU DON'T THINK IT DOES.
