Międzynarodowy Festiwal Muzyki Alternatywnej, Hala Gwardii, 27–29.03.1987. Warsaw, ABKiS “Alma-Art”, 1987. Poster, 68.5 × 49.5 cm. Black lettering on white paper. Very good condition, light creasing
Rare original poster for the International Festival of Alternative Music held at Hala Gwardii, Warsaw, from 27 to 29 March 1987. The event was organized by Alma-Art, a student-run initiative active in promoting independent culture and organizing stage events outside the official academic environment. Performing artists included Cabaret Voltaire, David Thomas, Minimal Compact, Kampas Dolores, Mint Addicts, Die Tödliche Doris, UT, Shrubs, Test Department, Familija Radjo Warszawa, Pociąg Towarowy, Reportaż, Zoltyje Pocztaljony, and The Ex.
A rare survivor from a nearly undocumented post-punk and no wave festival from the late communist period, when travel to Eastern Bloc countries was still heavily restricted and such independent cultural events required considerable improvisation and determination to organize.
