From his roots in skateboard culture and punk rock to the creation of the iconic Obama "HOPE" poster and his high-profile Associated Press copyright lawsuit, Fairey reflects on the evolution of his practice. He also pulls back the curtain on "Triple Trouble"—his collaborative project alongside Space Invader and Damien Hirst—and breaks down his approach to visual propaganda, colour theory, and navigating the digital age.
