Description
A poster with black and white photographic prints advertising the 9th congress of the Socialist Federation of Yugoslavia (SFY), specifically the Slovenian branch. Black text down the side of the poster reads in Serbo-Croatian: "9. KONGRES ZKS" The ZKS is an acronym for the League of communists in Slovenia, part of the SFY. Their 9th congress occurred in March 1968 and was headed by Josip Broz Tito, president of the SFY at the time. Smaller text underneath the title reads "Pot iz tezav je le boljse delo" which roughly translates to "The way out of trouble is just better work". More text running up from the bottm of the poster reads "Cloveka ni treba voditi za roko" or "one does not have to be led by the hand", next to which is a tiny red hammer and sickle. A paragraph of text in the centre of the poster details the proceedings of the conference regarding farming and establishing a strong domestic market, increasing employment and production whilst promoting self-governing for farmers.
