Barbara Kruger’s best known work combines text and photographic images to communicate issues
of power and control in relation to politics and sexuality. There is a host of related activities at GOMA running alongside the exhibition, if you have been inspired to use her techniques in your own art work, including a text art workshop looking at the power of graphics and advertising in signifying these messages and issues of social justice.
