About this work

This poster, titled "Squatters Convention on Housing," features a striking orange building with multiple windows. A large chain wraps around the building, while a white figure holds a sign in front of it. The background is a light blue color. The poster includes text at the bottom, which appears to be an advertisement for an event. The text is too small to read clearly, but it seems to provide details about the event, such as the date and location. The poster's bold colors and eye-catching design make it a compelling piece of art. If you're interested in learning more about the artist behind this work, you might want to look up Walker, Martin.
