Poster announcing a rally to protest the clearing out of vacant apartment buildings near the Berlin Wall. As the physical wall was dismantled and disappeared, vacant apartments next to the no-man's-land of the wall in East Berlin had been occupied, "squatted," by artists, punks, dissidents, and gays; young people with a liberal stance and creative energy. Offi cial clearing of the building by the police was often abetted by neo-nazi and fascist parties who participated in the harassment of the squatters.All posters are presently stored between acid free boards, flat, under weight. They will be shipped rolled, in tubes.
