Australian poster collectives were artist collectives established in the late 1960s, 70s and 80s in the capital cities of Australia, largely led by women and focused on various forms of political activism.
The collectives were formed mainly in Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide, but also in other Australian capital cities, during the period from approximately 1965 to the 1980s.
[1][2] Collectives made posters for concerts, bands, marches and community groups.
[4] The collectives were considered to be democratic art movements outside the gallery systems, able to quickly reflect changing social and political views and challenge social norms by designing, printing and displaying posters in public areas.
[1][4] Similar collectives emerged in the UK, Europe, the US and Cuba during that time.
