Rosso, nr. 15, MAR-APR. 1975

 

YES YES YES Revolutionary Press in Italy investigates the Italian scene of revolutionary press between 1966 and 1977, a period marked by intense social and political conflict expressed through student revolts, workers’ strikes, the emergence of radical movements, occupations of universities and factories. In this climate, printed media played a fundamental role in the circulation of claims and demands of the movements, while experimenting with visual and artistic languages. 

  The editorial organs took different forms: news sheets, newspapers, magazines, mimeographs, pamphlets, some daily papers and magazines, and other discontinuous publications, including single editions printed while awaiting authorization for approval. Sometimes the journals were a one-time-only supplement or attachment, ephemeral and volatile. The dynamic printing activities were linked to the political, ideological, antagonist, and counter-cultural struggle of a period of protest and occupation of civil spaces, areas of freedom, and social creativity.  Selected archive of printed matter included in this book will be presented at TABF.
