看板人生 Party Poster

Every year in India, on occasions of religious festivals, political elections and even banal events like politicians’ birthdays - vast numbers of posters go up in public places. These posters look absurdly identical - a splatter of primary colours, mugshots of devotees or politicians, and messaging devoted to the festival Gods or wishing their seniors a happy birthday. Now, in the midst of the pandemic and its restrictions, and with the major religious festival of Lord Ganesha approaching, Party Poster is a wry and satirical exploration of how religion, politics and science intersect in the minds of those who feature on these banners, through the prism of this ubiquitous and adaptive poster culture.
