Why an exhibition of posters?

Indonesian forces invaded Timor-Leste on December 7th 1975, the darkest day in Timor-Leste’s history.

An extraordinary 24-year campaign for independence followed, inspired and led by Timor-Leste’s best and brightest, with over one hundred thousand Timorese paying with their lives.

The Australia-East Timor Association was one of a number of hubs around the world, advocating, organizing and disseminating information to keep the story of the struggle alive when the world had largely forgotten the brutal occupation. Evidence of the Australian government's disgraceful role in this catastrophe is still emerging.

Over the years AETA accumulated a unique collection of copies of over 100 posters, banners and placards used at various times in the campaign in Melbourne. Copies have been added to the Victoria University AETA archive and we also have scanned all these historic posters.

A selection of these will be on display for one day only.

Please join us at the exhibition, hear stories from speakers who were actively involved in the campaign for many years and take a poster home with you.
