Introduction +Credits
Propaganda is an exploration of political and cultural design in the past century, focusing on the evolution of propaganda and the transition from traditional media to digital. Contemporary politics, as volatile as it is, is cyclical and this editorial seeks to bring hope and strength through education of past misdeeds occuring in the world. Apartheid South Africa, the Mau Mau’s of Kenya and the Vietnam war are all subjects related closely to the use of Propaganda, which is still in use heavily in contemporary politics; albeit subtly and through different platforms.
