Gallery: Witness Against Torture Posters
Justin Norman works with the Shrieking Tree Manufactory
For the last three years, Witness Against Torture has presented short runs of posters featuring quotes from former and current Guantánamo detainees. This week, we are releasing five new posters designed by WAT member Justin Norman. These artistic renderings of the plight of the detainees will hopefully engage people in a new way. We hope you like them. Furthermore, you can purchase printed images of these posters on our website. These purchases help in raising funds for our efforts to shut down the detention center that continues to hold them.
Got Five Minutes? We need your help sharing these provocative images on Social Media.
On social media people are most likely to share a photo or a meme rather than an article – this is the most effective way to get the men’s message into the social media world. In the past, these posters have been highly effective. The “Imagine” poster has been shared over a thousand times on Facebook, and another, the “Begg” poster, which has been used by a former detainee as his profile image. Everyday of this week, we will be posting a new design on our Facebook page. You can help us extend our reach by visiting our Page and clicking “Share.” You can also post them to your own wall or a friend’s wall . This will take about five minutes, and will draw attention to the men that continue to be indefinitely detained without charge or trial.
