Obey Giant will be releasing a new poster this week by Shepard Fairey that draws on John Lennon’s “Gimme Some Truth” song and social commentary to the disregard for facts and truth and the assault on the media waged by Donald Trump and members of his administration. You can check out the history of the phrase “an enemy of the people” here and see why language meant to question patriotism and quell dissent is often employed in service of dictatorial aspirations.
Noise & Lies Red or Cream. 18 x 24 inches. Screen print on cream Speckletone paper. Signed by Shepard Fairey. Numbered edition of 325 each. $50. No sets will be for sale, so you better be quick.
Available Tuesday, January 30 between 10 and 11AM (PST) on ObeyGiant.com in Store under Prints. A portion of the proceeds will benefit Media Matters.
