circa 1970 political poster by Olivio Martines for OSPAAAL - Guinea

Circa 1970

About the Item

The circa 1970 political poster by Olivio Martines for OSPAAAL (Organization of Solidarity with the People of Asia, Africa, and Latin America) titled "La Guinée - Guinea" serves as a poignant call to action, particularly on August 3, a day of global solidarity with the struggle of the people of Guinea and the Cape Verde Islands against imperialism and colonialism.

Martines' poster, created in the spirit of solidarity and resistance, embodies the ideals of OSPAAAL and the broader movements for decolonization and liberation in Africa. Through bold typography and vibrant colors, the poster amplifies the message of support for the people of Guinea, who were engaged in a fierce struggle for independence and self-determination.

Against a backdrop of solidarity redolent of the global revolutionary fervor of the era, the poster prominently features the name "La Guinée," drawing attention to the plight of the Guinean people and their fight against Portuguese colonial rule. The choice of typography, with its bold and assertive lettering, conveys a sense of urgency and determination, urging viewers to stand in solidarity with the oppressed peoples of Guinea and the Cape Verde Islands.

August 3 is designated as a day of global solidarity, a moment to unite in support of the ongoing struggles for freedom and justice. Martines' poster, with its powerful imagery and evocative symbolism, serves as a rallying cry for action, inspiring individuals and movements worldwide to join hands in the fight against imperialism and oppression.

As part of OSPAAAL's broader efforts to mobilize international support for anti-colonial struggles, this poster holds significance as a symbol of solidarity and resistance. It encapsulates the spirit of unity and collective action that characterized the global movements for liberation during the 1970s.
