In his New York Times op-ed, journalist Thomas Friedman suggested the 2012 Presidential election might be the right time for a viable third party, one that "will talk about education reform, without worrying about offending unions; financial reform, without worrying about losing donations from Wall Street; corporate tax reductions to stimulate jobs, without worrying about offending the far left; energy and climate reform, without worrying about offending the far right and coal-state Democrats; and proper health care reform, without worrying about offending insurers and drug companies."

Citizens are losing confidence in our government's ability to run the country and we are losing ground on the international stage, both economically and politically. According to Friedman, "There is a revolution brewing in the country, and it is not just on the right wing but in the radical center."


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.
