May '68 - Paris: Posters from the Student Riots

Featuring Posters from the May 1968 Student Riots
5th September 2008 - 1st November 2008
Lazarides Gallery Newcastle is proudly exhibiting a collection of over 50 surviving and original pieces of work from the era-defining 1968 Parisian student riots. Anonymously produced as political propaganda, these posters were created during a time of high unemployment and poverty across France that climaxed in violent clashes on the streets of Paris. They represent the art of a revolution, as relevant today as ever before.
