Description
Screenprinted poster, in white on red "A Conversion For Maida Hill Tenants Co-Operative", above in red on white, "Maida Hill Tenants Co-Op is an organisation of local people acquiring property in this area. The property is collectively owned and democratically managed. Please respect it."
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.
