Steal from the Poor and Give to the Rich
Bahador Shojapour
Street Art Workers (SAW)
Offset, 2006
Designed in Tehran, Iran / Printed in the United States
Street Art Workers (SAW) was founded in March 2001. Every year the members pick a theme,
make art, and put up each other´s work. They aim for the largest possible impact by posting art
simultaneously across North America. Submissions need to be mass produced, easy to ship and
relatively easy to display. Production costs are covered by each artist, and distribution costs are
covered by SAW. The group is run by volunteers on a shoestring budget. This piece is from
SAW’s Workers' Land and Globalization Poster Series.

In April 2000, five months after the World Trade Organization protests in Seattle, a
series of protests took place in Washington, D.C. against the International Monetary
Fund (IMF) and the World Bank (WB) at their annual meetings. 10‐15,000 protesters
demonstrated and 678 people were arrested, including a photographer for the Washington
Post. Two Associated Press journalists reported being struck by police with batons.
