A fellow dA-er recently created several posters for a college class (in Greece) depicting how many foreign people/nations view the USA. Apparently she caught some flack for it and posted a note explaining the project and assuaging people by noting that it is our government and not the people that the posters depict, etc.
She received strong support on the other spectrum as well because freedom of expression, freedom of speech, free exchange of ideas, etc. are all very important and should always be upheld and encouraged. These are the engines of (hopefully positive) social change.
It is always interesting to see the reaction people have when political or religious statements are made through the wonderfully communicative method of visual art.
