WORD GAMES
This is the second poster I designed for The Name Game, a series of posters that forms one component of the Equations for a Body at Rest project. These posters were on display at different billboard sites across Birmingham during the Commonwealth Games in 2022.
This poster, called Word Games, looks at how language is used to describe and/or frame the differences between the British Empire and the British Commonwealth. This poster points to the same idea explored in the LEXICON (accessible on this site), which is that language can be a powerful tool in advancing particular ideological agendas.
