In a time and age where powerful forces wield sophisticated media to sway entire countries into war, what should be the reaction of the artist - the individuals in culture and society who use image and color, substance and words, sound and technology to create their own propaganda on a daily basis? How can the creative class rise above the heap of anonymous, authoritative Others to disseminate our persuasive points of view? Curator, Daiv Whaley and newsense enterprises explored this incendiary topic with this exhibition focusing on the art of propaganda.

Works for the exhibition explored the subtle yet powerful ways that mind manipulation shapes our daily perceptions of the world. Propaganda created for the exhibition dealt with issues pertaining to religion, politics, ecology, racism, sexism, pop culture, advertising, etc.
