THE ART OF REVOLUTION
On our coffee table, we have a copy of The Design of Dissent, a tome of “socially and politically driven graphics” by Miton Glaser and Mirko Ilić. The book is stirring proof that art is intrinsic to social change, and vice versa. The art of today may later serve as iconography for the times in which we live—reflecting our unique joy and pain and the ever-rising tide of progress. This is why, or one big reason why, we participated in the NOH8 Campaign.
To recap, the NOH8 Campaign is a silent graphic protest launched by L.A. photog Adam Bouska in response to Proposition 8. Less than a year later, countless celebs have donned duct tape and temporary tattoos to show their support for marriage equality. As the campaign’s visibility has picked up steam in recent weeks, so have rumblings over the mixed metaphors of its images and derisive commentary about its motives. To all that, we say Whatever!
Bouska and team are utilizing their unique talents to raise awareness for marriage equality. Period. What began as California-centric is taking off across the country to include a rainbow of countenances—from real folks to Real Housewives, playboys to politicos—and will soon be recognizable as a national icon for the marriage equality movement (if it isn’t already). We are proud to have taken part in the NOH8 Campaign and hope that more equality seekers will take a cue from Bouska: Find your passion and your personal talents and channel them toward equality.
