Chamomile Tea Party

Chamomile Tea Party
Washington, DC, United States

In October 2013, the federal government shutdown because of an impasse between Republicans and Democrats to fund the government, either for the entire fiscal year or, temporarily, with a continuing resolution. The Republican House offered a series of continuing resolutions, each of which either delayed the implementation of or defunded the Affordable Care Act. These were rejected by the Democrat-held Senate and the President. With no funding, over 800,000 federal employees were furloughed and the government shut down for 16 days. A majority of Americans blamed the Republicans for the shutdown.


The posters in this series reflect the conflicts the American political system has been experiencing during the turbulent period between 2010-2018. They are meant to encourage an exploration and a dialogue about the cultural minefield we now find ourselves in.
