"I do not understand this poster!"
Dialogue on the streets.
1. Between the viewer and the poster, 2. between the hanger of the poster (messenger) and the viewer.
The response is very different based on who is hanging the poster and who is around on the streets. There has been long discussions and only exchange of few looks.
a) There was a 11th grader school boy whom Love Matters met at a bus stop who did not believe that "Source report that most rapes in Namibia are committed by family members or the acquaintances of the victim." Love Matters explained that she is only retyping the statistics that she finds.
b) There was a family man in Zoo Park in Windhoek who asked was Love Matters a victim of domestic violence or is she affiliated to an NGO who has sent her to post the posters.
c) One young lady was very impressed with the $$$$ poster.
d) Some claim to not understand at all.
e) Some say this is a very good cause.
f) Some are aggressive defensive and hostile with their body language, especially ladies.
g) A young lady commented about the Blah blah blah poster as follows: "It is a man's responsibility to take care of the woman and the baby. Baby dumping is the mans fault."
Love Matters asks: Who will take care of you if not you and who is responsible for your life if not you?
Love Matters in Art is an initiative from a social designer who is picking up on repetitive patterns and topics from the media in the Namibian society and transform them into art.
Love Matters is a great appreciator of typography, letters and text. She is working on trying to depict a social phenomena with two typefaces: Melior and Info.
