Description
Screenprinted poster, âComite Asesor Latino americanoâ in white on a blue background. Below is an illustration of the outline of Central and South America and the UK in orange, with a large yellow arrow from Central and South America to the UK. In smaller text reads âpara ayudarte con: immigracion, vivienda, empleo, salud, etc.â ["to help you with: immigration, housing, employment, health" in Spanish].
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.
