About this work
Overview
Created in 2012, this untitled screenprint belongs to a series of thirty‑one works by Malaysian artist Fahmi Reza. The piece is part of the Museum of Modern Art’s collection and exemplifies the artist’s engagement with public protest imagery through graphic design.
Subject & Meaning
The composition depicts a densely packed crowd in a public setting, with several faces rendered indistinctly. Central bold lettering declares, “Rebuilding Grassroots Democracy From Below. One Square at a Time,” while a hashtag at the bottom references the #OccupyDataran movement, linking the work to contemporary civic activism.
Technique & Style
Executed as a screenprint, the image relies on flat areas of vivid pink and stark black type to achieve high visual impact. The stencil‑based process allows for crisp edges and uniform color fields, reinforcing the poster‑like aesthetic typical of protest graphics.
History & Provenance
