Trouble in the Global Village
Update: 2025-04-24
Description
In this week's TANK Podcast, taken from the TANK archive, Stewart Jeffries considers Oliviero Toscani’s subversive advertising campaigns for Benetton in the 1980s and 1990s, both commended and condemned for their provocative depictions of an aspirationally globalised world. As much as his work clashed with cultural realities, Toscani's images remain a rich historical source to trace our divergence from this once progressive, utopian vision.
