Advertising Poster The Hornsey Affair Student Protest

Original vintage poster advertising The Hornsey Affair - a book by students and staff at Hornsey College of Art published in 1969 by Penguin Books - Great punk style design features monotone images of police, dog patrols and students carrying out protests. The book is about a period during 1968, when the college was the scene of protests when students occupied the Crouch End Hill site. Students attending the multi-site college convened to discuss the withdrawal of Student Union funds and resolved to sit-in. During this period they effected a temporary administration of the college, and called for major and consultative review of the art curriculum, supported by sympathetic academic staff and visiting artists. They offered a major critique of the education system at the time. Some of these documents were presented as part of a project called The Hornsey Project. The college was repossessed by local authorities at the beginning of the summer break. Good condition, folds, creasing, pinholes, minor staining.
