In the beginning of the 1960s and following the intervention of the USA to Vietnam, adversary counteraction was raised in May 1968, student protests and the expression of libertarian discourse have gained momentum. May 1968 events, occurred as the natural conclusion of an ever-growing tension since the beginning of the 1960s, allowed the individuals in search for equity and liberty from all over the world to develop a new way of discourse and a new manner of expression. Along with the May events, the above-mentioned pursuit has gained a universal aspect, some changes and notions have gained a world-wide prominence, and the pursuit found its direct expression in posters, paintings and in the movies. The works of the Atelier Populaire and of the Atelier of Revolutionary Posters at METU, installations and paintings by Mario Merz, James Rosenquist, Renato Guttuso, Peter Sorge, Wolfgang Petrick, Abidin Dino, Tiraje Dikmen and Altan Gürman, the movies directed by Jean-Luc Godard, Agnes Varda and Artun Yeres are the examples reflecting the spirit of May 1968. This study scrutinises the entity of May 1968 in Turkey and in the West. Further, on the basis of visual culture, it examines the common ground and dissimilarities between the images, themes, media, and discourses from Turkey and the West.
