The Greenpeace movement was founded on the belief that the only way to achieve lasting, transformational change was through the act of peaceful protest. We could think of no better collaborative partner than artist, activist and creative icon Shepard Fairey when it came to creating an image that stood in joyful defiance of the attacks we are seeing on free speech and assembly.

Shepard Fairey
The cultural influence of activist, street art legend and design revolutionary Shepard Fairey began in 1989, while he was still a student at the famed Rhode Island School of Design (RISD). His guerilla street art campaign “Andre the Giant Has a Posse,” became a national phenomenon, when Fairey’s stickers featuring the face of the popular wrestler were ferried across the country through an organic network of skateboarders and graffiti artists.
Fairey’s designs – which include posters, stickers, murals, apparel, and other interventions in the built environment – are known for challenging traditional understandings of studio and commercial art, while championing causes like gun control, human rights, and climate change. While he is best known by some for his design of the Barack Obama “HOPE” poster for the 2008 presidential election, his work is included in the collections of The Smithsonian, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, The Museum of Modern Art in New York City, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, among others.
