The bookshop is happy to welcome Camille Richert (author and editor), Margot Bernard (artist), Charles Mazé and Coline Sunier (graphic designers) for a discussion on the first monograph dedicated to the Hackney Flasher collective, published by Tombolo Presses.
Parents Must Unite + Fight brings together and reproduces all three series of the Hackney Flashers, Women and Work (1975), Who’s Holding the Baby? (1978) et Domestic Labour and Visual Representation (1980).
The Hackney Flashers’ works denounced the unequal pay between men and women, the double working day for mothers and the half-infantile, half-glamorous images of women disseminated by the media of the time. Photographer, journalist, editor, graphic designer, illustrator: the profiles of this socialist, non-mixed feminist group gave their singularity to a practice of posting in public spaces panels composed of images, text, slogans and illustrations.
*IMAGE_TEXTE is a cycle of discussions and readings, led by artists, photographers, authors, publishers, graphic designers and theorists, to think about the Image in its broadest forms, proposed by delpire & co.
