London's Ours! Images from the Greater London Council 1981-1986

Hazel Atashroo on the Greater London Council's poster campaigns, with the originals out of the boxes to look at.

TalkHistoryArt & design

At The London Archives.

In the early 1980s London's city-wide authority ran a radical experiment in how to govern the capital, and it campaigned in posters, public art and popular events - against racism, against sexism, against nuclear war, and finally against its own abolition. Atashroo wrote the book on that visual culture; the archive holds the collection it came out of, and a selection of the original material is on display for the evening. 18:00, £10.
