Flinders University Museum of Art will launch its latest exhibition – ‘If you don’t fight … you lose: politics, posters and PAM’ – with a special address in the FUMA Gallery at Bedford Park at 5pm on Thursday 16 May, highlighting the turbulent 1970s political era that spawned a powerful art protest movement.

The exhibition’s curators, Catherine Speck and Jude Adams, will speak at 5pm, followed by remarks from Academy Award-nominated director and screenwriter Scott Hicks at 6pm.

This exhibition revisits the political volatility, student activism and industrial unrest of the 1970s. It features the prints and posters of PAM (Progressive Art Movement), a small, dedicated and hard-hitting multi-arts organisation that was active in Tarntanya/Adelaide between 1974 and 1978.

Artists featured in the exhibition are Robin Best, Robert Boynes, Jim Cane, Pamela Harris, Andrew Hill, Ann Newmarch, Mandy Martin, Christine McCarthy, Peter Mumford and the Progressive Printers Alliance.
