Description
Screenprinted poster, "Anti-Nazi League + Paddington Campaign Against Racism Picket the Courts" in black on a bright yellow background. In the centre is a target design of concentric black and yellow circles, with text on each ring - "Arawaks...Keith Allen...Vincent Units"; "Paddington Defence Campaign Benefit"..."At The Factory, Chippenham Mews"..."Late Bar £2".
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.
