Description
Screenprinted poster, all in green on brown - "Solidarity with the Portuguese Workers Revolution" in green around the left, top, and right edge. In the centre is a crowd photograph of people shouting and a few raising fists.
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.
