EMEK
Silkscreen, 2010 / Fairview, Oregon
Produced in response to the 2010 British Petroleum (BP) oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico,
Emek describes his piece: “First you see the biggest image—a dead fish with a gas mask—then
you see the symbol of BP, then you connect it with the wordplay.” He says the dead fish is
meant to symbolize the oil spill’s disastrous effects on both the environment and on the
livelihoods of Gulf fishermen, and hopes people who see his poster will “remember that our
world is fragile and connected.”

Stop Offshore Drilling

CREDO Mobile
Digital Print, 2010 / Fairfax, California
This poster was Credo Mobile Phone Company's response to British Petroleum’s 2010
Deepwater Horizon disaster. Credo called on subscribers and activists to ask the EPA to hold BP
accountable for the catastrophic amounts of oil spewing into the gulf. At the time the White
House had not taken decisive action.
On April 20, 2010, an explosion on the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig leased by British
Petroleum (BP), killed 11 workers and spewed more than five million barrels of crude oil into
the Gulf of Mexico over the next 3 months. It was the largest accidental marine oil spill in the
history of the petroleum industry; it blackened beaches in five U.S. states and devastated the
Gulf Coast's tourism and fishing industries. In October 2011, the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), reported that dolphins and whales continue to die at
twice the normal rate. Residents say that oil from the spill is still visible.
In January 2011, the White House oil spill commission blamed BP and its partners for making a
series of cost‐cutting decisions and the lack of a system to ensure well safety. They also
concluded that the spill was not an isolated incident caused by "rogue industry or government
officials," but that "[the] root causes are systemic and, absent significant reform in both
industry practices and government policies, might well recur".
In March 2012, BP agreed to pay $7.8 billion to settle the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill lawsuit.
Although one of the largest class action suits ever, critics continue to demand a trial and
