Cheap Propaganda

3/12/2014

Navinland- Navin- Rawanchaikul-propaganda-posters-Thai-identity-Thailand-Indian




















"Navinland Needs You: We are Asia!" 
A project from Thai artist Navin Rawanchaikul, 
which examines national and cultural identity 
through art using propaganda themes.

Our last series of posters were in part inspired by an Artist from Thailand, Navin Rawanchaikul, who uses propaganda from many cultures to inspire his art.  We will write more about the message that he shares as it is relevant to a lot of what we are about.


We believe that the poster series that we created is one of the best free resources on the Internet for teachers that want classroom posters about History and cultural awareness.  It is sometimes not easy to print out such things in many schools that have limited resources and a long queue of teachers waiting to print.


We will continue to produce these posters and share them for free here for everyone.  If you're in or around Bangkok, we also will put together an art show this year, Cheap Propaganda, tentatively for September where you can buy the posters inexpensively.  We'll keep you up to date on the when and where of the show and please if you are interested in owning some of our posters let us know so we can have enough available for sale at the show.  Hope to see you there!

We are releasing a poster a day (or more!) this week, totally free for you to print.  Most of the images will also work in monochrome if you don't have access to a color printer. These images are around A3 sized but can be printed a bit larger or smaller if you like. If you can only print on A4, here are some directions on how to print on two sheets of A4 paper to make an A3 image, with some assembly required.

Please suggest any ideas you'd like to see as a poster and also feel free to send us your photos of our posters 'in action.'  All we ask is that you keep the text at the bottom giving us credit for our hard work.

Today's poster has been contributed by Artist TheRaf. If you would like to show off your design skills let us know, the pay is a pittance (as in none) but the prestige is priceless!

Enjoy!

Today's theme is 'artsy' and our first poster was inspired by the work of Barbara Kruger. The second is just really darn happy!

We're Still Alive!

technical-difficulties-internet-down-history
Last week we experienced some 'technical difficulties' as the Internet was out for ninedays. Rest assured, we maintained our pro-reasonable demeanor with the ISP (rhymes with "Blue,") while convincing them that it was indeed broken and it was not going to fix itself.

Now that we've rejoined the 21st Century, we will be adding more content this week. We are creating posters for teachers and History buffs that are downloadable and printable in large formats. Themes for the posters will be encouraging people to study History, multi-culturalism in a global context and reasonableness. We love suggestions, so feel to make a request. Sneak previews have been posted on our Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Pintrest so consider liking and following us on those platforms- links are at the top of the page.

An Infographic for Clarification Purposes

9/15/2013

It started as a flowchart, but that became so complicated that it looks like it should be a video, not an infographic. 

Even this chart ended up having an 'interesting area' where the yellow and blue overlap, which is not easy to explain.  Things that parody would often fall into this category, which can be a grey area.  A few references we won't even weigh in on- an example being Seinfeld's 'Soup Nazi'.  It is not glamorous, it is based on a real person while some find it amusing and others find it de-sensitizes people to the issue.

The image on the left is more along the lines of where our concern lies. There is no context in the image that says the image is a comment or a parody.  While sometimes English language can be mangled on tee shirts in other cultures, we still scratch our heads as to why these images and this language is chosen.                                                            

Symbols are sometimes misused when used outside of the cultures they came from, and when they are people often get offended.  As the World continues to get smaller, we all benefit from learning more about each others' values and sensitivities.

Our first video!  You may have noticed that we often use a light-hearted tone when discussing these issues. Of course, we are trying to teach people to understand that making reference to the Holocaust, Hitler and Nazis is actually something to take very seriously.  We're working on other projects that are more serious, but it seems that too much seriousness can make people tune out.  It's a delicate balance.

We hope to produce more videos and get people talking and thinking.  Talking about the issues of bigotry, homophobia and radical nationalism can be a bit awkward, but it's really important that you do.    Everyone can benefit from honestly listening to the points of view of others.

One of our core values is to educate and facilitate discussion regardless of educational level.  Sure, we can put on our structural anthropological semiology fancy-pants (too many disciplines there to be a mere hat) but that defeats our purpose.  We can if we have to.  Besides, most of the people that are actively opposed to our mission really wouldn't get that stuff anyway.

One last word about the video, for now the comments are open and hope to be able to leave them that way.  The word 'Hitler' is somewhat likely to attract a few trolls that will spout hate speech.  On the video description we make no apologies about deleting  hate speech and we will follow through as much as possible allowing for sleeping and eating.  If you see some, try not to react but if you do we'd encourage taking the high road.  You can drop us a note and we'll delete hate speech, and we're keeping an eye on it.  Debate however is to be encouraged, as long as it stays respectful (We know, You Tube comments are not known for civility.)

Please enjoy and share!
