Scope & content
Sub-series consists of records created by Adbusters Media Foundation for the Buy Nothing Day advocacy campaign. Buy Nothing Day is an international day of protest against consumerism, coined by artist Ted Dave and promoted by Adbusters. Buy Nothing Day originally took place in September. It was later adjusted to and popularized as taking place on Black Friday, the fourth Friday of November. Buy Nothing Day has been since expanded to Buy Nothing Christmas in order to advocate for buying locally or crafting your own gifts during the holiday season. Born-digital records include digital graphics, photographs, memes, press releases, moving image "subvertisements," and an audio file of Silent Night recorded in a mall. Paper records include "Buy Nothing Christmas" cards.
