Jallikattu Posters (India)

Tamil Nadu, India. Jallikattu, the "Taming of the bulls" is a local tradition of hanging onto a bull's hump, to hold it still, or to take a flag off it's horns, to win various small prizes. It is controversial, and has been banned off and on by the government. Cruelty to animals, and preserving ancient local traditions and breed of bull, are some of the issues. The first poster here is in protest against the ban, from protests in Chennai in January. The others are event posters, because the ban has since been lifted, again. As always, lots of heads shots, outlined typography.
