Solidarity’s Underground Posters in Lublin
The Lublin exhibition Signs of Freedom: Posters of Solidarity from 1980-1989 collects 45 unique posters from the birth of Solidarity and the period of martial law, taken from the collection of Danuta and Jerzy Brukwicki.
The emotionally-charged posters from Solidarity’s first period distinguish themselves with their single, powerful character, and their explicit message and concept. They fascinate with thoughtful interpretations of then emerging ideas and issues. They avoid redundant details and captivate with simple graphical forms.
These posters remind of important events in Poland's history which were kept secret and distorted by the authorities in the communist era. It was these posters, dedicated to the then less-known facts from Polish history, that created a special calendar in the Polish pursuit for truth, freedom, democracy, social justice and equality.
