Description
Screenprinted poster with yellow text on a red background, with a grid of details arranged by "Ealing, Brent, Hammersmith and Fulham, Kensington and Chelsea, Westminster" as the column headers. At the very top is the title "Housing Policy - Battered Women - NW London September 1980".
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.
