Description
Screenprinted poster "510 Womens Group" at the top with a colourful illustration of women and children talking. At the bottom is a list "We meet on Thursday afternoons for discussions. (There is a creche). We babysit for each other. We go out in the evenings or have meals together. We run a creche on Fridays to have a few hours off."
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.
