"'Soyez réalistes, demandez l'impossible!' or 'Be realistic, demand the impossible!'. The well-known slogan of the Paris student protests of 1968, during which protesters demanded a profound social transformation, accompanied by relentless anger over the hypocrisy and pretence of the capitalist system. The revolts of 1968, which spread throughout the world, remain a huge source of inspiration in today's world, which continues to be tossed with the desperate need for social justice and equality. All that it takes is that you find enough courage, break free from the chains of this false black-and-white world and demand the Impossible."
The work is part of the “Let's Start A Revolution” series.
