Social Justice 2008 is a powerful portfolio that features 12 thought-provoking posters by world-renowned artist and designer Luba Lukova. This collection swiftly and ably showcases Lukova's masterful use of metaphors and symbols to express themes that include peace, war, ecology, immigration, and privacy. Her distinctive style and vigorous visual imagination distill issues such as these into deceptively simple, yet formidably brilliant images, images that not only transfix, but that have the power to become indelible. Lukova's portfolio captures many of the complex issues our society faces in this election year and yet each poster speaks to the viewer in an accessible and honest way. Surrounded by a case featuring hundreds of Lukova's preliminary sketches, this portfolio can only be categorized as a tour de force. Writer and social activist Margaret Scarsdale writes the accompanying essay. About the Author: Luba Lukova is an internationally recognized artist and designer.
