DAM!’s first poster project was a straight-forward effort to expose the lack of lesbian representation in American popular culture. The project highlighted the fact that for one to “exist” or be visible in mainstream media, one must belong to a recognizable consumer group. The campaign replaced the “underground” celebrities featured in the GAP ads with pictures of lesbian activists.
