Nan Goldin and Vivienne Westwood are among ten artists and activists commissioned by Visionaire magazine to design a series of protest posters that you can download and use for free.
For its 68th issue, Visionaire magazine asked the artists and activists to create a poster on issues ranging from gun violence and criminal justice to climate change and equal voting rights.

The protest posters, which are available to download on Opensource, feature designs by Nan Goldin, Katerina Jebb collaborating with Tilda Swinton, Vivienne Westwood, Tiona Nekkia McClodden, Candice Breitz, Martine Gutierrez, Marilyn Minter, Faith Ringgold, and Kim Gordon, as well as duo Zoe Buckman and Hank William Thomas.
The posters aim to "re-contextualise" the protest poster as an art object, while also providing an "essential tool of modern political activism". They are intended to be used at protests and can be downloaded and printed at home.

"This edition ? comprised of ten images with text addressing the current state of the world ? exploits the democratic power of art and the traditional, political imperative of the protest poster," said Visionaire.
"The works in this edition are intended to be used on the streets of our cities and towns to proclaim what we hold dear."
