Revolutionary Wordsmith in Residence

ORGANIZATION:
Adbusters Media Foundation

DEADLINE:
Until Filled

ORGANIZATION DESCRIPTION:
Adbusters Magazine is the people’s bi-monthly journal of the mental environment.

But we’re so much more than a magazine.

We’re a global collective of writers, artists, designers, musicians, poets, philosophers, and punks.

Since 1989 we’ve been smashing ads, fighting corruption, and speaking truth to power. We’re trying to forge a new way of living, create a whole new cultural vibe to escape the capitalist paradigm, and halt humanity’s slide into a 10,000-year dark age.

From Buy Nothing Day to Occupy Wall Street, we’ve been at the helm of our era’s defining tone-shifting moments. We’re the creators of the world’s most ethical shoes and a design manifesto that shocked many creative people to their core.
