Two Plus Two Makes Five
Two Plus Two Makes Five is a study of Poland's right wing shift since the election of the Law and Justice Party (PiS) in late 2015. Inspired by the actions of Polish artists and designers under Communist rule, this project affirms the potential and nature of art and design to engage with democratic society to educate, inspire, and motivate to action.
This project was completed alongside my thesis paper, The Design of Dissent: Graphic Design for Socio-Political Engagement which examined the socio-political dimension and application of graphic design. Informed by research in activism, agonism, visual rhetoric, and design criticism, Two Plus Two Makes Five is the culmination of my research in the Master of Design program at York University.
