Tote bag illustration designed for the 15th anniversary of the Oslo Freedom Forum hosted by the Human Rights Foundation.
The Brief.
“Our theme Celebrating Solidarity honours the unity, mentorship, and community that Human Rights Foundation and our global community — from frontline dissidents to journalists, philanthropists, and technologists — have fostered in the last 15 years.
It recognises that only through solidarity can we defeat tyranny.”
“Have you ever attended a passionate protest? The anger and determination that initially drove you to be there, standing up for what you believe in, creates a strong sense of unity amongst all participants. Being surrounded by others who share your conviction and desire for change energises and uplifts you. There's a rush of adrenaline, a surge of hope, and a profound sense of personal empowerment as you openly and vigorously defend your principles. Your dedication is shared by everyone else present, creating a powerful collective experience.”
That's the sentiment we would love to convey or represent in the illustration.
