Marriage: Love and Law exhibition catalogue - Flipbook - Page 90
Poster collectives created platforms to express social and political issues,
including those related to the institution of marriage. Redback Graphix’s
‘infamous poster’, Prostitution is the rental of the body: Marriage is the sale,
and Jan McKay’s (Earthworks Collective) After the confetti, what?—
which ‘pilloried the suburban dream’—both critique the ideal of marriage
that was advanced during the post-war era.
