SPEAK SALONE
Several hundred public posters are used to discuss the lack of governmental accountability in Sierra Leone. Unaccountability that is pervasive within the judicial system, law enforcement, social welfare, education and healthcare, whilst the industrial extraction of diamonds, gold operates freely.
Sierra Leone posters are ubiquitous, advertising a prolific ad hoc film industry. The poster format provides information freely and instantly. With high illiteracy rates (around 50%) theses poster borrow the format of local currency, with historic Sierra Leone leaders asked the question ‘If I was alive today, what would I say?’ which invites public opinion to vicariously express itself.
This project was reframed in response to ‘Grexit’ and exhibited in ’Adhocracy Athens: From the Making Things to Making the Commons’ curated by Joseph Grima, Ethel Baraona Pohl and Pelin Tan
