NICA

A propaganda poster created by Poesat Tenaga Peloekis Indonesia (P.T.P.I) in 1945, capturing the period of "struggle," features a man dressed in black with an armband labeled "NICA," which stands for the Netherlands Indies Civil Administration, prepared to regain control of the Dutch East Indies after Japan's surrender. The man is depicted lighting a dynamite stick placed on an Indonesian fortress, symbolizing NICA's intention to reestablish Dutch colonial rule in Indonesia (Bisma, 2024). 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.
