‘Advertising Shits in Your Head’ & ‘Protest Stencil’ launch
Thursday November 28th.
Venue: Housmans Bookshop.
We celebrated the launch of two impressive small publications Advertising Shits in Your Head (PM Press) and Protest Stencil (Dog Section Press). Found out more about subverting advertising, including how to hack advertising spaces and run your own subvertising campaigns.
Dog Section Press provided this video on subvertising to show in the later part of the discussion.
Advertising Shits in Your Head
“Advertising Shits in Your Head provides a history of the practice (going back to the early ’70s), alarming research and theory on the effects of the industry, advice about how to take part (including legal information) as well as several stunning case studies. This is essential reading for all who want to fight back against the ‘most powerful and sustained system of propaganda in human history.'”
—Jamie Kelsey-Fry, New Internationalist

—Protest Stencil
