Matriarchavelli’s Treatise on World Domination poster
Detail with a quote from Sophie Lewis’s Full Surrogacy Now. Feminism Against Family. Text set in Kingthings Exeter, with obliqued Kingthings Petrock.
The Society for Matriarchal World Domination was founded by Zoë Claire Miller and Mira Starke in 2019. From their archived website:
One blue back paper at a time, the Society for Matriarchal World Domination is flyposting for the end of the patriarchy. Artists and writers from diverse backgrounds collaborate in pairs to conceive posters that appear on billboards in the streets of Berlin every full moon. Following this monthly cycle, the posters address a radically indiscriminate audience in the theater of public space using text and images to speak to a plurality of feminist issues.
Shown here is the final edition of the poster series, with text by Selin Davasse and images by Molly Dyson. Conceived in 2019, it was posted in January 2020.
The typography brings together a diverse mix of typefaces, including Black Rose (“Matriarchavelli’s”), Benton Modern Italic (“Treatise”), Kingthings Exeter (“on World”), and Edda (“Domination”).
