My anti-hate posters represent the call to listen to youth voices. To me, people don’t pay attention the youth. They are saying a lot and they are fighting to be heard, but not always seen. My goal is to grab the attention of viewers through the use of bold colors, with a serious tone. The point is to stop and listen. Kids are hurting too and are calling for change and fighting against hate. The megaphone represents them shouting and the hidden words represent what they are fighting for. It also speaks to the changes we have been fighting toward for years with little change. Our voices aren’t always heard, but we will continue to speak. The leaves represents the growth and beauty occurring in the middle of the madness of life.
