From Artists for Obama Portfolio. Shepard Fairey’s Obama Hope Gold (2008), created for the Artists for Obama Portfolio, is a screenprint based on the iconic image that became one of the defining visual symbols of Barack Obama’s presidential campaign. Rendered in Fairey’s characteristic graphic style, the portrait combines bold contrasts, simplified forms, and a limited palette to create an image of clarity, strength, and optimism. The prominent word “HOPE” transforms the work from a portrait into a political statement, encapsulating the campaign’s message of change and civic engagement. Rooted in the traditions of political posters, street art, and graphic design, the image demonstrates Fairey’s ability to merge activism and popular culture. Widely reproduced and instantly recognizable, Hope has become one of the most influential political artworks of the twenty-first century.

What is activist art?
Activist Art is a form of art created to address social and political issues. It often involves public engagement and works closely with communities to raise awareness or inspire change. While it can include elements of performance art, it is not limited to this form. Examples include creating and distributing social protest posters or organizing community-based art projects that highlight specific causes.
