The eclectic and worldly design magazine Plazm’s last number included a Timeline of Dissent – a journey through American history with socially and politically motivated visuals as the guide.
The twentieth century saw nearly constant war and nearly constant protest of war. The self-published handbills and underground newsletters of World War I gave way to the guerrilla theater of the Vietnam era; more recently, new forms of activist communications spread graphics rapidly and globally online. In the following pages, Plazm assembles a timeline of dissent.
The last ten images in this timeline are a sampling of images available for free download on www.anti-war.us.
Anti-war.us is a Plazm project conceived of and curated by Joshua Berger with site design by Jon Steinhorst and interface design by Anthony Ramos.
My personal favorite is David Bragin’s 1971 poster, “Under Nixon 3 Million Bombs Dropped on Indochina.”
