Nous Sommes Le Pouvoir

£10.00

Emerging from the fervent uprisings of the Paris May ‘68 demonstrations, this image embodies the spirit of collective resistance and empowerment that defined the movement. “Nous Sommes Le Pouvoir” (“We Are the Power”) stands as a bold statement of worker solidarity and grassroots mobilisation. The Atelier Populaire, a collective of artists and students, created such politically charged images to communicate the values of autonomy and opposition to establishment structures. These ephemeral prints were plastered across the streets during a historic struggle, amplifying the voices of those who dared to challenge authority.

The image captures the essence of a moment when art and politics fused in the quest for change, born out of the occupied École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. The silhouette of human figures, rendered in vibrant red, evokes the unity of individuals against oppressive systems, while the text asserts the sovereignty of the collective. This work remains a testament to the enduring legacy of May ’68, a movement whose profound influence continues to inspire activism, creativity, and resistance worldwide.
