Extinction Rebellion ‘Paint the Streets’ posters, 2019
The campaign inspired people to paste over local advertising, reclaiming the streets with bright posters.
Participants were given digital tools and directions to add their own posters to a set of pre-made posters designed by a various graphic artists and designers who, using the same tools, also added their own.
The set of posters includes three earlier posters, the earliest examples of the Extinction Rebellion ‘tool-kit’ in action.
The original Paint the Streets brief was devised by Iggy Fox (RIP) and Clive Russell for April 2019. Paul Nelson continued the brief for the October Rebellion, 2019.
