The above slogans have appeared on Think Again's mural-sized posters, mobile billboards and postcards, all of which were deployed in places that catch the public eye. Treading a fine line between critique and action, and employing the graphic strategies of the advertising industry while subverting their lingo, Think Again wages a visual war against political indifference.

Remember: ADVERTISING WORKS BECAUSE YOU DON'T THINK IT DOES. |
