Special Instructions

Rothman brings this hometown pride and a keen eye for detail to bear for SVA's latest "Art Is" subway poster. She saw designing the poster as her "chance to do something about what everybody is doing right now, which is protesting," and the final product is entirely made up of people—New Yorkers—smiling, shouting, marching and holding signs encouraging action and engagement. In all of her work, Rothman draws from life or from photos and the New Yorkers included on the poster come from the marches and demonstrations she's attended recently. Many of the protestors have empty signs, left blank by Rothman to invite interaction; subway riders can fill in their own slogans and calls for change. If her prints, paintings and sketches communicate the visual experience of the city, this poster captures its spirit—energetic, diverse, with millions of different voices speaking out and standing up for what they believe in.
