Description
The Poster Collective was a collective formed in 1971 at the Slade School of Art,  a group formed to initially produce posters in response to the miners strike and on the wars in both Vietnam and Ireland. It was formed on the basis of developing a coherent visual style, which addressed the political issues of the time. This included the armed struggles against colonialism in Africa, the struggle of women for equal rights and the continuing struggle against racism. The collective was active in the 70's and 80's, producing posters on a wide range of issues, including for educational purposes. The group was not-for-profit and used a variety of hand-printing techniques to create their posters. This is a red and black and white poster. The middle of the poster shows people marching with signs. The slogan is Give us civil rights not rubber or death bullets. at the bottom of the poster it says we can conceive of a free Ireland with a subject working class; we cannot conceive of a subject
Ireland with a free working class. James Connolly.
