February 2016 — A roadside fairground in Laguna Verde, Dominican Republic, blends local entertainment with visible traces of the country’s political life. Temporary carnival rides—like a small Ferris wheel and green spinning pods—sit on an open lot beside major campaign billboards promoting municipal candidates, reflecting the country’s vibrant political culture leading up to local elections. Street signs point toward nearby towns including Punta Cana and Bávaro, while the signage and infrastructure hint at the influence of regional tourism development.

September 2021 — A row of political signs displayed along a residential fence during the 2024 U.S. election cycle. The banners, supporting former President Donald Trump and expressing opposition to President Joe Biden, reflect the increasing visibility of partisan messaging in everyday public and suburban spaces. Throughout the Upper Midwest and many parts of the country, large-format yard signs and roadside banners became common ways for homeowners to express political allegiance ahead of the election. The use of oversized, commercially printed campaign signs grew significantly after the 2016 and 2020 elections, coinciding with the rise of direct-to-consumer political merchandise and online storefronts selling non-official campaign materials. Residential displays like this illustrate how political identity has increasingly blended into street-level visual culture, especially in communities where private property is used as a platform for ongoing political messaging outside traditional election windows.
