GROUP OF BADGES: POLISH SOLIDARITY Made in Poland, 1980-1989 Lithograph and screenprint on polystyrene; dye-stamped metal and polystyrene Some given by Marek Garztecki E.2247,9,54,5-1990, 2241-3-1991, 2102,4-1992 Formed as a trade union in 1980, Solidarity became a focus of resistance to the Soviet-dominated Polish regime. Suspended by the Government in 1981, it continued underground until restoration of its legal status in 1989. The wearing of badges, with their symbolic vocabulary, images, phrases and references, demonstrated allegiance to the cause of Solidarity.
