For its 26 October issue, New York Magazine worked with nonpartisan group I am a voter to create four different covers featuring ‘I Voted’ stickers by 48 artists of different backgrounds and artistic influences.
Each issue comes with its own peelable stickers designed specifically for US citizens who opted to vote through mail or online instead of going to physical polling areas. The stickers will also be distributed to bookstores, museums, and polling sites all across the US.
Artists who participated in the program include Barbara Kruger, Zaria Forman, KAWS, Laurie Simmons, Marilyn Minter, Amy Sherald and David Hammons.
“Growing up in the South, I viewed the American flag as belonging to a people whose patriotism was solely reserved for whites, Sherald said about her sticker creation, which sees a Black cowboy wearing a shirt featuring an American flag design. “My American flag represents a ‘whole country’. A flag that conjures hope, empathy, resilience, unity, freedom and justice.”
Artist Christine Sun Kim designed a sticker that shows how to sign “vote” in ASL, while Hiba Schahbaz drew a portrait of Dominique “Rem’mie” Fells, a Black transwoman who was murdered.
Check out some the stunning sticker designs below.
In collaboration with @iamavoter_, @nymag invited me and dozens of other artists to design I VOTED stickers! Be sure to grab a copy of the NY Mag issue on 10/26 and get out the #VOTE! Go to: https://t.co/HtduZAsz1P
