Il Manifesto
Posters for Palestine yesterday and today
Texts/Editing by: Veronica Daltri - February 22, 2024
It is perhaps tautological to talk about posters and their importance in this newspaper. Yet it is a need that does not subside, that of “making known with signs” (manifest, from the dictionary) the impetus of anger and indignation of situations that require an appeal to the community for change. The search for suitable forms for this purpose finds an ideal form in the protest poster, material made to circulate easily, spread, contaminate and instigate the eyes, and not only, of the viewer. This aim can be further pursued by combining art and political commitment in artistic protest posters. There are a thousand examples since the times of the futurist and dadaist avant-gardes, but focusing on recent history and specifically, on the Palestinian question, here are some posters that have witnessed it and that continue to attract attention.
