From the QAG:
“This exhibition explores Australian political posters from the 1970s to the 1990s. In an international climate of disquite in the face of the continuing cold war, the Vietnam-US War and wide spread social changes, Australia’s young people took to the streets. They papered them with the urgent succinct messages of the political poster. Calls to action, these works are witty and sometimes irreverent responsive to key issues of the time in Australian politics and society. Woven into the display are posters that advertise dances and other cultural events, showing the strong sense of community that developed out of these various struggles.”
