DescriptionThe June 12, 1982, March for Nuclear Disarmament brought together a variety of independent groups, all of which banded together for a common cause. This is also reflected in the diversity of expression within the posters. Some are merely asking for an end to nuclear proliferation, while others, like the one here, are demanding that more attention be given to wider issues of food insecurity or social justice. Italian artist Giancarlo Impiglia is best known for his Deco-inspired paintings as well as for his participation in the wildly successful Absolut Vodka campaign of the 1980s. This is the only protest poster he created in his career, potentially indicating the personal importance of the issue.
