Description
Screenprinted poster, "know your rights!" in white on a black background. "Buy NCCL Factsheets - Arrest, Police Questioning, Search of Person, Search of Premises, Bail, Sureties, Complaints against the Police, Legal Aid" in white in a list, beside a orange illustration of printed papers fanned out.
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.
