Beyond Lies

Beyond Lies was a public art collaboration with illustrator Mona Chalabi. This initiative featured a series of posters by Chalabi distilling extensive work by journalists and researchers on the fossil fuel industry’s long-standing disinformation crusade. The campaign offered pathways to further learning and inspired community action to break the industry’s grip on climate policy.

The campaign launched on July 31, 2021 on Governors Island and extended to various sites in New York City and beyond through March 31, 2022. Members of the public were invited to participate in the project in numerous ways—including hanging the posters in their communities—to advance public understanding, civic engagement, and a cultural shift toward collective action on climate.
