No!
“NO!” is my modern reflection on the 1968 protest poster created by the Atelier Populaire during the Paris uprisings—a piece that stood against police brutality and state repression. The original, printed in fluorescent pink, depicted a World War II–era helmet and grenade: simple, defiant symbols of resistance.
In my version, those relics are replaced with their modern counterparts—a contemporary helmet and grenade—because the struggle has not changed, only its machinery. The same pink remains, carrying forward that electric urgency, that refusal to submit.
This piece speaks to both the past and present: against war, against systems of control, against the normalization of violence. It’s a continuation of the same cry from 1968—updated for our time, but rooted in the same truth. “NO!” is not nostalgia; it’s protest.
