Street Art Workers: Knit for the revolution poster
Street Art Workers, Utopia/Dystopia, 2003
One of the posters in the series making up the project was a poster about knitting.... three (nearly four) years later the message is not lost. Not only in this poster, but in most of the series of 22 posters, most of which have a sustainability message.
Many folks excel at criticizing the existing order, but people seldom articulate what they want. As we struggle for a better world, we´re forced to define what that world might look like. Do you envision a society broken down under the weight of capitalism or do you hold out hope for the forces of liberty and equality? In 2003 we put these thoughts on the streets to inspire visions for the future.Street Art Workers, 2003.

My vision for the future is quite simple. I want things to be more durable and mended rather than easily broken, impossible to repair and thrown away. I see knitting as part of this somehow but I haven't got round to articulating it properly. As usual. Love that poster.
