History

Historical Context

In 2008 Shepard Fairey designed the Obama “Hope” poster from a Mannie Garcia AP photo, and by July it had spawned over 200,000 vinyl stickers. The poster’s spread showed how campaigns could turn pop culture into political memes. In July 2026 the White House X account posted a “TRUMP IS YOUR PRESIDENT” marquee at Taylor Swift-Kelce’s Madison Square Garden wedding, reusing that meme tactic.
