THINK AGAIN:  Selected Early Work, 1997 - 2003

As part of its mission, THINK AGAIN has distributed thousands of pieces of printed matter free-of-charge through art spaces, grassroots community organizations, unions, academic institutions (in addition to click-and-print web posters.) Many of THINK AGAIN's projects privilege face-to-face interactions: handing out postcards at Pride parades, parking mobile billboards in front of City Halls and sending digital posters to activists mobilizing against the war machine. 

Though anchored on anti-homophia activism, THINK AGAIN's projects have address the broadest range of social justice issues including economic inequality, undocumented labor, race justice, queer liberation, militarization, gentrification and displacement, feminism and the ways capitalism and misogyny conspire to jeopardize vulnerable people.

Below is a selection of items distributed over the last fifteen years.
