CSPG Needs Your Help Identifying Mystery Posters
CSPG receives poster donations from collectors, artists, and activists from all over the world. Some come straight from a protest to our door, but others are scraped off of walls, covertly transported across borders or hidden away in basements before they end up in the archive. While we can often piece together the topics these posters cover, sometimes we just get stumped. We're putting these "mystery posters" here to see if anyone in our larger poster-loving community has any knowledge about them.
Click on any poster for more information. Please use the comment box provided below if you have any information regarding any of the posters on this page. Thank you.
