To Die For: Posters Against Homophobic Violence
These posters examine how graphic design became a form of activism in response to the 1992 hate crime murder of Allen R. Schindler, a gay U.S. Navy sailor. Designers Marlene McCarty and Donald Moffett created a pair of public posters that honoured Schindler’s life while exposing the violence and prejudice that led to his death. The posters were independently installed throughout New York City, demonstrating how design can challenge censorship and provoke public dialogue.
