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. It's a red and white poster and in the centre it says Womenâs peace camp, Greenham common, NR.newbuby berk shire. Women Come June 25th. Fire Dragon. Frast for the future. All around the base. Bring food. For information send S.A.E. To womenâs peace camp. Women only please. Bring wood and
