Bread & Roses Festival

Curated by Studio Strike and supported by Film London and the BFI, the Bread & Roses Film Festival marked the centenary of the 1912 ‘Bread and Roses’ textile workers strike in Massachusetts. The festival held screenings and talks on Clapham Common, at the Studio Strike Community Cinema, at community centres in Lambeth, and cinemas across south London including the Ritzy Picturehouse in Brixton.

We designed identity elements to reflect the historical context of unions and workers’ rights – themes explored during the festival. The logo drew inspiration from the sawtooth factory rooftops, while the imagery was carefully selected from the archive of the US Library of Congress.
