Description
Screenprinted poster, âWould jubileeâve it? A review celebrating 25 years of BOMADSâ. The central text is flanked by two mirroring curtains with the Union flag pattern on in red, white and blue. Smaller text at the bottom reads âMethodist Hall, King Edward Road, Oxheyâ.
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.
