Gathered throughout the last seven years, these posters are unique. They featured in pacific actions of protest and democratic engagement in Portugal. Their inclusion on the broader reflection on design stems not only from the material quality shown but also from the conditions of production and use that fill them with meaning.

They convey the political dimension of the post-millennium tensions, the restlessness, questions and intensities that define it. From the large-scale anti-austerity demonstrations of 2012 and 2013, which gave rise to powerful images of political mobilisation, to the present day, this exhibition links graphic artefacts displayed in protest and resistance demonstrations with visual and audio-visual documents that bear witness to their performative dimension.
