This collection has been hand-picked by collective members from the Radical Poster Collective to a give a flavor of the posters that were produced during the 1968 student uprising in Paris. During the uprising workers and students would come to the Atelier Populaire in the occupied School of Fine Arts with ideas for poster designs - they would be discussed in the context of the day's events in a General Assembly before deciding whether to print them or not. The posters, alongside a wave of radical graffiti, flooded the streets with their trademark simplicity. Quick and easy to produce, the posters perfectly captured the zeitgeist with messages of hope and resistance. These images and slogans have stood the test of time.
