Show morePoster shows a picture of Beatrix, Queen of the Netherlands superimposed (at the bottom left) on the image of a partially demolished five-story residential building, presumed to be in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The Queen took the throne in April, 1980, and squatters began rioting because they did not feel she should have a crown on her head when they did not have a roof over theirs. It was one of the largest riots in the country since World War II. Despite a critical shortage of affordable housing, inhabitable residential buildings and whole neighborhoods were being demolished to make way for new construction that offered housing at much higher rents, if housing was built there at all. The text on this poster was the slogan for the squatter movement at that time. Poster images in sepia tones.

X appears three times in white on the black stripe. Blood splatters above the dagger entry point and also pools below it. This represents the desire of left-wing and counter-culture groups (like squatter and Provo movements) to kill the construction of a building complex designed to house city hall and the national opera because it required razing many residential and historic buildings. Riots broke out when construction began. This is a call to gather in the area of the planned complex. Ink is red, yellow, and black.
