WAR GAMES

The military portraits and 3D printed apes are characters from my animation “good enough for the people”, based on Emma Goldman’s speech “Patriotism: A Menace to Liberty” first published in 1917.
Animated apes bring to life Goldman’s incendiary words about how promoting patriotism can be used as propaganda for selfish political and monetary gains. That sentiment still holds very true today.
