Poster for Amnesty International
This is a poster dedicated by Shigeo Fukuda to Amnesty International. It features a disembodied fist, often a symbol of protest and revolution, nestled in barbed wire in the center, with the word “Amnesty” at the top of the composition. The S in “Amnesty” is made up of two interlocking shackles. Here Fukuda is echoic Amnesty International's vision for human rights, solidarity, and the universality of these concepts. The barbed wire is reclaimed from being something confining to something liberating when in the hands of the oppressed.
