Description
Screenprinted poster, "Stand Together! Grunwick July 11 1977 - Made in solidarity with the Grunwick Strikers by members of ACTT, TGWU, & The Newsreel Collective." Above is a monochrome red photograph of a crowd at the strike with a banner, "We demand union recognition. Unite + Overcome." Around the edge are small squares with photos of the strikers in each segment.
This poster was made by Paddington Printshop, a community graphic design and print workshop in West London, co-founded by John Phillips and Pippa Smith. Between 1975-1991, the centre printed over 400 designs for left-wing community organisations. These publicised local political campaigns such as housing rights and food co-ops, to social gatherings including play days, gardening clubs, gigs and festivals. Their do-it-yourself style was part of the proto-punk ethos.
