Poster printed in black and red ink on white paper. A landscape in silhouette fills the page and divides it visually into red sky on the top third and black below a rocky horizon line with a few plants. A person wearing a hat with a wide brim who is on one knee appears at top right holding another person with a limp posture. Both are in silhouette. A small helicopter appears beside them flying in the sky. Large text aligned at top left reads: "International Festival for the People of El Salvador." A man and a woman in active poses play musical instruments on the lower left side of the page. The woman is playing a pair of bongos, and the man plays a flute. The music/breath from the flute extends upward and becomes a pair of clasped hands around the two people in silhouette at top right. Text opposite the musicians at lower right reads: "Saturday, September 18, 1982 / North Waterfront Park / Foot of University Ave / Berkeley / 11AM to 6PM" and continues with a list of twelve performers and five types of regional food available at the festival. Small print across the bottom margin of the poster lists ticket purchase information, Medical Aid for El Salvador as the recipient of proceeds, visitor amenities, and the sponsors: Oakland/Berkeley CISPES and Committee for Health Rights in El Salvador. Registry marks visible at corners.
