Australian poster collectives were established in the late 1960s, 70s and 80s mainly in Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide, but also in other Australian capital cities. The collectives were formed by artists concerned with social justice, women's rights, political activism, anti-Vietnam war protest, environmentalism, LGBT rights and Indigenous peoples' rights. Collectives also made posters for concerts, bands, marches and community groups. Feminists were active in the collectives and some were women-only collectives. The list of collectives and artists in this article indicates women were leaders in the poster collective movement, establishing groups, providing training, opening the groups up to other women and decision-making by consensus. 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. Some artists were members of more than one collective and often did not sign their name to posters but attributed them to the collective. Similar collectives emerged in the UK, Europe, the US and Cuba during that time. This article covers Australian poster collectives from the 60s to 80s rather than later collectives from the 1990s such as RedPlanet.
