Greek Anti-Nuclear Poster — Panhellenic Conference of Peace Forces, Athens, 1978

160.00

A rare political poster documenting the Greek peace movement during the late Cold War period, issued on the occasion of the Panhellenic Conference of Peace-loving Forces.

Produced in Athens in June 1978, the poster expresses support for the disarmament initiatives of the United Nations while explicitly opposing the neutron bomb. It reflects a moment of intensified international concern over nuclear escalation and the mobilization of civic organizations across Europe.

The visual composition—featuring a darkened urban skyline and suspended human figures—conveys the existential threat associated with nuclear weapons, employing a graphic language characteristic of late 1970s political design.

Issued by EEDYE, a central body within Greece’s peace movement, the poster stands as both a historical document and an example of activist visual culture.
