The Autonomous Design Group (ADG) are an anonymous art collective formed in the UK in 2019. They create eye-catching, affecting designs on the subject of rent strikes, police reform, workers’ rights and the climate crisis. Although their posters are works of art, ADG want you to be sure of their political message: this is art designed not for galleries or social media, but to be displayed in the streets. “So far, we’ve sent out around 200,000 stickers and posters worldwide,” says one of ADG’s four current members. “We are able to collectively self-manage our own lives without capitalism or the state. Another world is possible and we view art as an indispensable way of getting there.”
