Two Wales anti-aparthied movement objects from our collection, 1986. Most of WAAMs posters and flyers were bilingual, years ahead of what is now much more common practice in Welsh social and political movements.

Great poster here from 7:84 theatre company name comes from a statistic : 7% of the population owned 84% of UK wealth. 7:84 was founded by playwright John McGrath, in 1971, and operated throughout UK. We have several of their posters in our collection.
Poster back stage at An Lanntair arts, one of the most significant plays to explode into the world of radical art and culture.
