Flowchart of the Declaration of the Occupation of NYC

2011 · Offset print · Drawings and Prints

The Occupy Wall Street movement grew out of calls for greater economic equality in the wake of the global financial crisis of 2007–8. It began with a group of activists who occupied Zuccotti Park in New York’s financial district in the fall of 2011. The list of grievances in Flowchart was collectively written, and Schragis, an artist and organizer, shaped them into a diagram. It was reproduced as a poster and handed out at Zuccotti to protesters and passersby.
