You gotta love this, not least because its kinda clever. But also because, rather paradoxically, its such a simple idea. What’s it got to do with social activism? Not much, but it just goes to prove that you can grab people’s attention without busting the bank on flashy hi-tech jazzy stuff (though I kinda like [...]

Amnesty International France have produced a great anime-style piece for AI’s Letter Writing Marathon taking place over the next week. Does animation detract from the seriousness of the cases presented? I wonder.

Rather bland but sober ‘lay of the land’ animation from the OECD on inequality. Seems like the Occupy movement have popularized a focus on earnings inequality.

Kuang Biao’s cartoon made me smile. The caption translates as, ‘Take off your clothes. Now its your turn.’ This is making reference to the policy of citizens in China having to register using their real names, yet a total lack of transparency in government. The guy in the big coat with girls and cash stashed [...]
