Subvertising in Manchester
mc svt | 29.09.2003 12:23 | Culture | Globalisation
Our city is covered by billboards paid for by corporations who tell us what to buy what to think and what to do, yet graffiti, stencilling and stickering are illegal. Only money allows companies to pollute our visual environment, to claim they can make us sexier, freer, richer and more fulfilled.
Billboard subvertising takes away the power advertising and corporations have over our lives while allowing us to create something new and positive.

So get on with it and keep your eyes open for ideas!
