[Christiania: A Community in the Big City] Christiania: Et Samfund I Storbyen

Item #SQ0481864

København: Nationalmuseet, [1975]. Offset lithograph poster in color printed on recto only. 24 x 39 in.

Large poster advertising the 1975 publication Christiania: Et Samfund i Storbyen, and depicting an overhead view of the commune, surrounded by imposing industrial buildings.

Christiana, or Freetown Christiana, started in 1971 in the ruins of an abandoned army base in Copenhagen. Christiana is notable for the open use and promotion of marijuana, though not of “hard drugs” like cocaine and amphetamines, and as a center of queer activism, primarily at the Bøssehuset (Gay House) which has been active since the earliest days of the community.

Several closed tears to margins; otherwise, very good.
