This is a series of political posters depicting old socialist block leaders, with a slogan that says “For a Europe who gives voice to the people”. It’s meant to highlight my personal disillusion about European politics and politicians.
The series features:
- Todor Zikhov, President of Bulgaria from 1954 to 1989;
- Josip Broz Tito, President of Yugoslavia from 1953 to 1980;
- János Kádár, General Secretary of the Hungarian Socialist Workers’ Party from 1956 to 1988;
- Gustáv Husák, President of Czechoslovakia from 1975 to 1989;
- Enver Hoxha, President of Albania from 1944 to 1985;
- Erick Honecker, President of GDR from 1976 to 1989;
- Władysław Gomułka, First Secretary of Polish Unified Workers’ Party from 1956 to 1970;
- Nicolae Ceaușescu, President of Romania from 1974 to 1989;
