# "...In a Changing World" poster (Gujarati, India)

A Gujarati-language panel poster headed 'In a Changing World', opening with a quotation from Secretary of State John Foster Dulles and five 'change' panels: colonialism to freedom, the polar region, physical power, the sky and disorder to order, illustrated with photographs of a speaker, engineers, a polar map, a medical device, a rocket and the UN building. The tell is card-stacking and glittering generalities: selected U.S. achievements are framed as world progress.

“...પરિવર્તનશીલ દુનિયામાં”

“દુનિયા જીવંત છે, અને તેથી પરિવર્તનશીલ છે. તેથી, સમાજની કોઇ પણ વ્યવસ્થાને સ્થગિત કરવાના પ્રયત્નને પરિણામે માનવજાતની શાંતિ જોખમાયા વિના રહે જ નહિ.”
૧૮ નવેમ્બર ૧૯૫૪ના, ક્લીવલેન્ડ ખાતેના અમેરિકન વિદેશમંત્રી જ્હોન ફાસ્ટર ડલેસના પ્રવચનમાંથી

પરિવર્તન... સંસ્થાનવાદમાંથી સ્વાતંત્ર્યમાં પરિવર્તન
પરિવર્તન... વણખેડ્યા ધ્રુવ પ્રદેશમાં પરિવર્તન
પરિવર્તન... જગતની ભૌતિક શક્તિમાં પરિવર્તન
પરિવર્તન... આપણી ઉપરના આકાશમાં પરિવર્તન
પરિવર્તન... અવ્યવસ્થામાંથી વ્યવસ્થામાં પરિવર્તન

"...In a changing world"

"The world is alive, and therefore it is changing. Therefore, as a result of any attempt to halt any arrangement of society, the peace of mankind cannot remain without risk."
From the speech of American Secretary of State John Foster Dulles at Cleveland, 18 November 1954

Change... from colonialism to freedom
Change... in the unexplored polar region
Change... in the physical power of the world
Change... in the sky above us
Change... from disorder to order
