About this work

This poster from 1974 says, “If It's Empty Take It.” It was made by Bernadette Brittain for Red Dragon Print Collective. They wanted people to know their rights when housing got hard. Brittain pushed for cheaper homes and fair rent. Empty buildings? The poster told locals to use them. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum next time you’re in London.
