Additional Details

Robertson was a founder of the Earthworks Poster collective, a group of feminist artists at the University of Sydney in Australia from 1972 to 1979. The silkscreened works that the collective produced all had a political theme: gay and lesbian rights, aboriginal rights, protest posters and anti-nuclear imagery. They worked in an area of the University referred to as the Tin Sheds, prefabricated buildings from World War 2. Ironically, she stopped producing art as a result of being poisoned by chemicals used in the poster-making process. This image promotes the Marxism Feminism Conference, in Sydney 1977. On the bottom, printed in cursive, it reads, "A cultural image from the legendary past, Tall tales and true for the Marxism Feminism Conference."
