Sally Tomlinson ~ From Far Out to Mainstream: Life Cycle of the Psychedelic Rock Posters, 1965-73

The eclectic posters, like the scene they celebrated, attracted cameras, record moguls and social scientists determined to circumscribe the scene into definable—and sellable—form. Come joins us for this discussion of the flowering and dismantling of the hippie movement as best reflected in the poster imagery that spoke a distinctive idiom directed at an unconventional, music-loving audience.
