Collective perception through media coverage is a key aspect of Aleksandra Mir's work. In Mir's Newsroom series, the artist invited others to use her archive of tabloid newspaper covers in the creation of large-scale drawings. Reproduced only with black Sharpie marker, the covers' font, scale, and composition were dramatized by individual interpretation across trending themes like the weather, police activity, and celebrity. In 2020, Mir revived the series featuring headlines about Donald Trump that were published prior to his first campaign. Newsroom Revival: Are You Kidding (2020) is an example of Trump's unique ability to manipulate mainstream media attention, a method that has defined most authoritarian regimes around the world.
