In May 1968, thousands of workers and students took to the streets of Paris, provoking an unprecedented wave of strikes, walkouts and demonstrations. The confrontations between police and protesters led to a general strike of eleven million workers that brought the country to a virtual standstill and nearly toppled Charles de Gaulle s government. The faculty and student body of the Ecole des Beaux Arts were among the strikers, and a number of the students met spontaneously in the college s lithographic department to produce the first poster of the revolt, which bore the declaration "Usines, Universités, Union" ("Factories and universities unite," loosely translated). From this initiative was born the Atelier Populaire (or "popular workshop" ), a collective of print shops that produced hundreds of posters to encourage the protestors and to report on police brutality. These posters included many of the often Situationist-inspired mottos for which May 68 is remembered today, such as "Be young and shut up" and "return to normal" (accompanied by a picture of a herd of sheep). This portfolio contains 40 silkscreened poster facsimiles from this period. Printed by POW, Banksy s printer of record. 17.5 x 25 in. Edition of 68. Forty silkscreen prints on 100% rag paper. Near-fine.
