Posters

Hausprojekte disseminate their events—such as fundraising or solidarity parties, meetings, and demonstrations—via posters pasted on their street façades. The posters are graphically vibrant and expressive. Some use stylized representations of the Hausprojekte buildings, anchoring their political messages in the iconic images of their respective buildings. Others resort to extensive text describing not only specific events but also more general political goals. The posters spread the visual, spatial, and political culture of Hausprojekte throughout the cityscape, and offer a unique register and document of this culture. The posters shown here were photographed in the summer of 2010.
