EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures an intriguing piece of history - an Anti-British and American propaganda poster from 1980s Libya. The vibrant colors and bold caricatures immediately draw the viewer's attention, while the Arabic text conveys a powerful message against these two Western powers. The central figure in this poster is none other than Baroness Margaret Thatcher, the renowned British Prime Minister of that era. Depicted alongside her is President Ronald Reagan, the influential leader of the United States during the same period. Both are portrayed in a satirical manner, emphasizing their perceived negative impact on Libya and North Africa as a whole. Surrounding Thatcher and Reagan are various men and women, representing Libyan citizens who oppose their policies. The inclusion of both genders highlights how this sentiment was shared by people from all walks of life within Libya. The concept behind this artwork seems to be death or demise, symbolized by a coffin placed prominently at its center. This suggests that those depicted on the poster were seen as responsible for causing harm or destruction in Libya. It is worth noting that this photograph was taken by Vivienne Sharp (VSP), capturing not only a political statement but also showcasing her talent as a photographer documenting significant moments in history. Overall, this thought-provoking image serves as a reminder of the complex political landscape during that time and reflects how art can be used to express dissent against foreign powers.
