Do you know what propaganda looks like?
A mural showing Saddam Hussein on horseback.
A colossal cut-out of Benito Mussolini mounted on Milan Cathedral.
A film of North Korea’s Kim Jong Un parading an intercontinental ballistic missile.
A Pakistani newspaper advertisement calling for ‘Jehad’ (sic).
A soldier firing condoms from his gun in a Ugandan AIDS awareness and prevention campaign.
A traditional Azerbaijani rug celebrating the achievements of Soviet space travel, with portraits of Gagarin, Tereshkova (and of course Lenin).
Juxtaposing material from conflicting ideologies, Propagadopolis presents the broadest range of shocking, unusual and visually arresting images, encompassing all regions and eras of the modern age to demonstrate how propaganda has been wielded to evoke emotions, rally support or instill fear – to leave an indelible mark on the collective consciousness.
Extended captions explain the fascinating stories behind this material, contextualising the strategies used by governments, agencies and individuals seeking to influence, deceive and demoralise through the use of propaganda.
Containing many previously unpublished examples and with an enlightening introduction from Robert Peckham, author of Fear: An Alternative History of the World (2023), Propagandopolis is an essential visual guide to the enduring potency of the most pervasive, manipulative and persuading images of our time.
