Notes

These posters were recycled on paper donated by a house mate "Ant" who works as a curator at NT Museum. Ant is a Kongo regular. All the posters done for Kongo were done free of charge from materials recycled or left over from paying work or from wages taken home at the end of the week. It was not about money but about having fun.
