Flagged off on January 26
this year, Posters Unite! is a
collaborative, collective
effort between Group 2020
— a self-organised group of
Mumbai-based artists,
activists, architects and
filmmakers — and Artists
Unite. Posters Unite!
uploads a poster at the end
of each day on social media,
with the aim of coming
together for a democracy
against hate, discrimination
and violence. The artworks
are contributed
anonymously, and are free
to download, share and
circulate widely. The group
comprises a number of
leading artists from across
India, and their statement
reads thus: “We seek the
seeds of a creative
movement towards futures
that we desire, and wish to
realise. Futures free of hate,
of discrimination and
violence. Futures that are
equitable, inclusive, utopic,
thoughtful but also
courageous.”
Come, Let us also raise our hands
We, Who have forgotten all rites and passages
We, Who have forgotten our idols, our gods
We, Who only remember the burning passion of love
