1967 – THE SUMMER OF LOVE
Designer: Luke McLean
The year 1967 marks the birth of a counterculture that would change the face of politics, music, and self-expression forever. 1967 saw a complete overhaul of societal norms especially amongst young people as the civil rights movement and anti-war movement raged – the people craved change. Against a backdrop of civil unrest, the “Summer of Love” bloomed, signified by the Human Be-In, A Gathering of the Tribes concert and the Monterey Pop Festival, which featured performances by renowned artists such as Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead, The Byrds and The Who amongst them.
