Opowiadanie obrazem: autorski plakat społeczny
Storytelling with a picture: author poster

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to present the theoretical assumptions of the phenomenon that can be described as a “social poster”. In the first part of the work, I describe the origins, sources and historical context of the creation and functioning of the so-called Polish School of Posters. It is a school which, at the turn of several decades of the last century, built the significance of the poster, not only as an artistic work (with a clearly visible aesthetic function), but also as a product with a strong social impact. The second part of the text is definitely more personal. In it, I present the subject of my posters as well as the events and impulses that prompted me to undertake it. For me, the decisive elements in the selection of topics are society and the changes taking place in it. And the poster is, in my opinion, the most human form of conveying thoughts in urban space, and at the same time an important voice in the “street fight”.
