Divide & Conquer Ampersand Coffee Mug
$25.00 - $28.00
This piece combines three influential political maxims to highlight enduring strategies employed by ruling elites to control populations. "Divide & Conquer," an ancient military tactic, symbolizes the use of division to weaken and conquer adversaries. "Bread & Circuses" represents the pacification of the masses through the provision of basic needs and entertainment. Lastly, "Fake & Gay," a contemporary phrase, underscores the role of misinformation, propaganda, and demoralization in maintaining power structures. By juxtaposing these concepts, this artwork invites viewers to question historical and contemporary power dynamics and reflect on the ongoing struggle for truth and unity in an era of deepening divisions.
