Description
The Poster Collective was a collective formed in 1971 at the Slade School of Art,  a group formed to initially produce posters in response to the miners strike and on the wars in both Vietnam and Ireland. It was formed on the basis of developing a coherent visual style, which addressed the political issues of the time. This included the armed struggles against colonialism in Africa, the struggle of women for equal rights and the continuing struggle against racism. The collective was active in the 70's and 80's, producing posters on a wide range of issues, including for educational purposes. The group was not-for-profit and used a variety of hand-printing techniques to create their posters. It's a red and blue poster. A man is smiling with his mouth open while his hand is holding another man. On the right side of the poster it says One day, Themroc just blew up. He chucked his job, destroyed his flat, dined on a cop and turned on the whole neighbourhood. Portrayed by MICHEL PICCOLI.
