Catalogue and poster for the Against Great Odds: Posters of Nicaragua exhibition held at the Peter Whyte Gallery in Banff, AB. Catalogue features a reproduction of a poster made by the Nicaraguan Ministry of Culture from a Solentiname painting, and a description of the exhibition’s source material written by curator Elizabeth Brown. Details the Sandinista revolution, criticizes the CIA-backed Contras that opposed it, and describes the emergence of a popular artistic movement from this political climate, which included the creation of the posters displayed in the exhibition. A large sticker on the poster side reads “please return to the Edmonton Art Gallery.”
