St Étienne - Affiche originale – Schizo Diffusion – Lille – graphisme underground – années 70

Original poster from the collective “Schizo Diffusion,” an alternative group based in Lille, active in counter-information networks and critical dissemination.

Powerful black-and-white visual featuring a stylized figure, in an aesthetic typical of militant and underground productions from the late 1970s / early 1980s.

The text mentions :
