"Peasant's Choice" posters outside Loblaws highlight inequality | News
A local artist is creating different spins on Loblaws' house brands to highlight the lack of grocery affordability in Canada.
Roblaws gets poked again.
Great stuff. The second part of this quote from the artist, No Name Peasant, made me chuckle.
“I chose to mimic Andy Warhol’s famous Campbell’s soup cans in the first campaign, which were meant to represent the mundane. I created ‘No Name 100% Pure Gruel’ in an effort to highlight that average Canadians can no longer afford what was once ordinary,” the artist said.
As for Peasant’s Choice, it’s meant to illustrate “how unlikely it is that any president is choosing President’s Choice. Folks are choosing this because they absolutely have to.”
