Solidarity posters

Description:
In January 1966, the Organization of Solidarity of the Peoples of Asia, Africa and Latin America (OSPAAAL) was established in Havana, Cuba, with the stated purpose of fighting imperialism and defending human rights. Many designers contributed innovative poster art to OSPAAAL's campaigns to encourage solidarity with Third World liberation struggles. The appearance of Arabic captions on the posters helps to substantiate the international character of the movement.
