The text on the poster reads !طخ (tokh!), an Arabic onomatopoeia for the sound of a gunshot or explosion. This possibly loaded word has been rendered in the style of a BANG! flag from an old toy gun, giving it visual impact but reducing its power to play fighting or cartoon brawls.
Exploring preconceptions of language
I created this poster as a way to highlight how prejudices can be played out through written language.
