New exhibit at Poster House shows 'failed' efforts to warn humanity about climate change
Donate todayThe works have not failed in terms of design or technique, but rather because “they failed to successfully modify behavior,” according to the museum’s own blurb for the exhibit. “Almost all of the environmental issues showcased in these posters remain or have worsened.”
We have a quote from Richard Nixon. As you walk in the door from his State of the Union address, and everybody goes, “Richard Nixon? Really?” Well, he was the president when the EPA came into being, when the Clean Air Act came into being. And maybe he did or didn't believe in environmentalism. Some of his advisers definitely did, surprisingly.But more to the point, 20 million Americans said, “We want you to notice this.
What is interesting is that, while we have the change in tone, though, it's been branded “slow violence,” and I think it's much harder for us all to deal with something that's that insidious and isn't visible on a day-to-day basis. I think first of all, it led to a lot of posters that were produced with the Earth on them. It’s amazing how many different ways you can project exactly the same image if you want to. So skilled poster designers can do that.
