Description
Screenprinted poster, âSolidarity with the Portuguese workers revolutionâ in green on a brown background around a border. In the centre is a photograph printed in green and brown of a group of people protesting, shouting with their fists in the air.
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.
