A celebration of the events of '68. With books, meetings, music etc.

1968 changed the face of politics and defined a generation. Students across the world occupied their universities, building bonds with workers and others in struggle.

In Paris, the heart of the événements, students and workers combined to threaten the very existence of the French state. After occupying the major theatre they proclaimed 'When the National Assembly becomes a bourgeois theatre, the bourgeois theatre becomes a National Assembly'.
