When It's Good to Be Unruly
This large-format composite banner is an oppositional cultural artefact inspired by the province's 2012 “printemps québécois” protest movement. It is assembled from imagery produced during the more than six-month period of dissent. As a (re)mediated cultural artefact of mass oppositional performance, its purpose is to nourish the debriefing period.
