Poster – To Live, Women in Black, Late 1980s
A political poster of the Women in Black movement from the late eighties, titled "To Live". On the upper half of the poster is a photograph of six women dressed in black, and on its lower part a large black spot with red inscription "To Live". The photograph was done in a protest demonstration of Women in Black at the Megido Junction.
Women in Black was established in Jerusalem in 1988 following the outburst of the first Intifada, and as a protest of the military steps taken by the State on Isral in the Occupied Territories. The women of the movement held regular protest demonstrations on Fridays at the France Square in Jerusalwm, in which they wore black. This type of protest spread around the country and towards the end of the Intifada thirty such demonstrations were held weekly.
