Berontak Melawan Pendjajah!

A propaganda poster created by Poesat Tenaga Peloekis Indonesia (P.T.P.I) in 1945, capturing the period of "struggle," features Indonesian masses holding weapons, appearing ready to fight. The text below reads “Berontak Melawan Pendjadjah,” that translates to "Revolt against the colonizers." This symbolizes the determination and resistance of the Indonesian people against colonial oppression. This poster is part of a scrapbook titled "We Struggle with Posters (P.T.P.I.)," containing reduced reproductions of P.T.P.I. posters from 1945-1947, addressing both Indonesian and global issues.
