WHEN WORDS ARE NO LONGER SAFE - Poster Series

Research data collected with: Zhiyi Lan, Li Qiu, Luca Weste

2025 → Design Academy Eindhoven

A series of risograph-printed data visualizations exploring how emojis function within online protest movements. The project examines the raised-fist emoji (✊🏿) as a symbol that moves beyond its cheerful, everyday use to become a strategic tool for activism—one that bypasses censorship, amplifies messages, and builds solidarity across digital and physical spaces. Through visual mapping and historical research, these posters trace the layered meanings the emoji can carry: stories of place, time, oppression, resilience, and collective action. In protest contexts, emojis transform into powerful, coded markers of resistance and identity.
