This research explores the solidarity networks between France and Latin America between the 1970s and 1980s, when the latter was governed by dictators. Based on the discovery of the collection of posters at the Pierre Monbeig Library (IHEAL, Paris), this article reveals their possibilities for studying these networks. Through history and visual studies, the poster reveals the vast constellation of entities involved, from the highest official spheres to grass-roots groups. We show that Paris is a laboratory for interrogating the local and the global, where collaboration and negotiation take place across national borders. Posters reveal the conjunctures, networks, and practices of solidarity, and beyond that, they make it possible to explore the existence of a transnational “visual culture”.
