Hull Rock Against Racism got started in 1979, a bit after everyone else.

About

We were community activists, grassroots anti-racist campaigners promoting regular RAR gigs with local bands in the heart of West Hull. My silkscreen posters were also a bit out of step. No ripped ransom note safety pinned punk graphics. Instead, images were taken from radical artwork – often German Expressionist woodcuts, Soviet Constructivist film posters or Paris 68 screen prints – and adapted for a new purpose. Richard Lees
