“If you’re not outraged then you’re not paying attention.” These are the powerful closing words of the London-based spoken word artist Deanna Roger, whose poetical account of the last decade runs as part of the Design Museum’s latest exhibition, Hope to Nope: Graphics and Politics 2008-18.

As social media has grown, so to have the movements which swell and explode on its platforms, fuelled by the imagery and words of those at the centre and the fringes of each moment. From the 2017 Women’s Marches, to Trump’s presidency and Jeremy Corbyn’s ascent. This exhibition explores the element of graphic design within political moments, examining the memes, posters and placards that have appeared on our social feeds, newspapers and TVs.

These are provocative, powerful and important images that have been retweeted, reimagined and repeated, as unbelievable political movements sprung up around the world. Graphic design is being used to shape the messages being proclaimed, whether that’s by those in power or those fighting against it.

There are 160 objects and installations within the exhibition, which runs from 28th March until 12th August 2018. There are also displays of real-time political conversations taking place across the world on social media, which offer a shimmering reflection of the reality the imagery so encapsulates.
