The charging bull, an iconic symbol of Wall Street and the financial district in New York City, is seen here restrained by a red strap drawn around its snout. Using strong graphic design and bold colors, the Occuprint Portfolio was created to support the Occupy Wall Street movement that began in 2011 to challenge economic inequity in America. Targeting various disparities, the posters lie at the intersection of many social and economic injustices.
