IN PICTURES: THE DIALECTICS OF LIBERATION

15 – 30 July 1967

Documentarian Peter Davis recorded the Dialectics of Liberation and the Demystification of Violence meeting on camera, capturing an invaluable important record of the spectrum of leftwing politics and personalities during the 60s. These stills from his video documentary The Anatomy of Violence enable us to begin to imagine the turbulent energy and atmosphere at the event.
