THEME: Kill the Messenger
Your work must examine the truths of our current global circumstance: isolationism eclipsing universality, fomenting uncertainty and fear–a moment ripe for renewed human optimism. Test your mettle by staking your socio-political claim, and mining it to the fullest. Your task is to create a visual vocabulary which makes clear your engagement with the world around you. Be audacious in your messaging, allow your talent its fullest expression.
