Take Red Back! in Prague

Take Back Red!

As part of Tina B., The Prague Contemporary Art Festival, artists were invited to submit billboard designs for the Billboard Text Art section of the festival, which were then put up around Prague. My design had roots in the 2004 U.S. presidential election. I had previously knit a red American flag with a similar manifesto about the color red to reference the fact that network television had chosen red to represent Republican votes. Red has traditionally been the color used by communists, socialists, and labor unions, and I was confused and irritated that it was now associated with heavy capitalism. This is the second version of the manifesto about the color red and it's more angry than the first.
