About Artist and Project:
"Internationally acclaimed artist Shepard Fairey and his Obey Giant team painted a visually stunning 7,400 square foot mural entitled “Voting Rights Are Human Rights” in Milwaukee from October 10 to October 13.", Milwaukeindependent.com, 2020.

The main focus of the mural features a portrait of an African American man looking skyward, surrounded by artwork and imagery provided by five Wisconsin artists. The central portrait was based on a photograph captured during a Civil Rights march in the mid-1960s by photographer Steve Schapiro.

“As I looked through his numerous beautiful and powerful photos, we discussed the possibility of collaborating on the spot,” said Fairey.

Obey Giant, Fairey’s studio, has sold artwork based on Schapiro’s photo as a fundraiser for various nonprofits affiliated with getting out the vote, stopping voter suppression, and fighting against social injustice.
