About this work

This print shows three black-and-white photos arranged in a row. The first picture has a person sitting on the floor holding a newspaper or paper. The middle photo shows someone writing on a piece of paper with a marker, sitting on the ground. The third photo is of a protest with people holding signs that say things like *"Politics is the beginning of everything"* and *"Politics starts in the home."* The title below reads *"How to Make a Difference."* The signs and the act of writing suggest this is about speaking out or taking action. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this print in person.
