Exhibit: Iranian banknotes uprising

Anti-government activists are not allowed to express themselves in Iranian media, so theses activists have taken their expressions to another high circulation mass-medium, banknotes. The Central Bank of Iran has tried to take these banknotes out of circulation, but there are just too many of them, and gave up. For the activists’ people it’s a way of saying “We are here, and the green movement is going on”.

Following are examples of such banknotes, mostly written in green ink (translation at right):

ImageV (for victory) stamp
ImagePlan to write 1 Billion slogans on bank notes.
ImageKhamenei the non-believer is servant of Putin
ImagePeople’s enemy
ImageLong live freedom
ImageNeda’s photo followed by death to dictator slogan. The other side has the logo of state media Voice and Vision of Islamic Republic with added swastika followed by “humiliated by our Voice and Vision”

You mean culture jamming in general?

Wikipedia wrote:
Culture jamming, a tactic used by many consumer social movements[1], is a mechanism in which an activist attempts to disrupt or subvert mainstream cultural institutions or corporate advertising. Culture jamming is often seen as a form of subvertising. Many culture jams are simply aimed at exposing questionable political assumptions behind commercial culture so that people can momentarily consider the branded environment in which they live. Culture jams re-figure logos, fashion statements, and product images to challenge the idea of "what's cool," along with assumptions about the personal freedoms of consumption[2]. Culture jamming is usually employed in opposition to a perceived appropriation of public space, or as a reaction against social conformity. Prominent examples of culture jamming include the adulteration of billboard advertising by the BLF and Ron English and the street parties and protests organised by Reclaim the Streets. Culture jamming sometimes entails transforming mass media to produce ironic or satirical commentary about itself, using the original medium's communication method.
