Manifesto for Voting Reform isolates five oppressive aspects of U.S. voting—the design of all documents and systems governing federal elections, the two-party system, the Electoral College, gerrymandering, and minoritarianism. This is accomplished by printing succinct statements on brightly-colored polyester flag material. In the same vein that the outgoing President’s re-election campaign flags proclaimed to “Keep America Great,” these flags aim to create a cult mentality around streamlining, reforming, and democratizing the design of the U.S. voting system.
These flags were on display at the Southern Utah Museum of Art from January–March 2021.
Watch my talk introducing the project to Design Week Sacramento in October, 2020.
