Social Justice 2008
Luba Lukova’s Social Justice 2008 brings us twelve distinctive and thought-provoking posters on the following subjects:
Brainwashing, Peace, Social Security, Immigrant, Sudan, Privacy, Corporate Corruption, Dialogue, Censorship, Health Coverage, Income Gap, and Ecology
Lukova is joined in this unbound hardcover by writer and social activist Margaret Scarsdale, who provides the accompanying essay.
More than just social commentary, these posters are a call to action.
The images draw on well constructed visual metaphors that deconstruct the political issues, and deliver clarity, both visually and in the message conveyed. Most of the images use only two or three colors, and the illustrations are uncomplicated, using only a few elements.

More on Activism, Art
These are not mere artistic materials but are supporting hands for the struggle for social justice. Here art is not only beautiful but meaningful also.
My hearty greetings to the artists.
