The following photographic poster made for the 10th annual Poster for Tomorrow. The theme was a Planet for Tomorrow focusing on the environment, this poster addresses human rights as well as the environment.
Vernacular colloquialism is one of the most common ways in which society refers to the subaltern, by use of the colloquial vernacular individuals are seen as ‘other’. Although usually this is another form of racial terms or slang in most cases it can just be one’s pronunciation. The dominant group in society what change in individual in order to make them relatable, ultimately doing that individual or group in identity they are comfortable with which results in that individual or group of people changing in order to fit it in. Although the subaltern may be of a different religion, cultural or social environment they find themselves making small changes in order become less exotic and more acceptable. With the world that claims to be equal in rights for each human being why is it that we change things to make it easier with no consideration other person we change. The following poster is an example and how an individual’s identity changes depending on the social and cultural environment they enter, whether this mispronunciation or laziness the basic identity of the person is not left untouched. The poster shows multiple nametags in which an individual’s name is written in many different instances, in each language name is pronounced differently or are spelt incorrectly. If we wish to make an environment there adheres to the rights of each and every human equally it is important to address it at the base level no matter how insignificant it may seem. As a universal human right the notion of individual identity and personality is encouraged and preserved from birth, this includes the right to live a decent environment with a precondition each individual can love the life of dignity and worth. If humans cannot come together to solve the problem that is the pollution of the Earths surface, pollution of water and the destruction of irreplaceable natural resources, this decent environment will not be possible to provide to future generations. Although the right to a healthy environment is wildly controversial due to individual and collective aspects, if we are unable to claim protection trial own identity how will it be possible to claim protection for the environment not only as an individual but also as a people?
