May 68: beneath the cobblestones
How students in Paris turned a campus protest into one of the defining youth movements of the 20th century.
In spring 1968, protests that began among students at Nanterre spread to the Sorbonne and the Latin Quarter of Paris. On the night of 10 to 11 May, students built barricades in the streets, and the clashes that followed became a turning point.
Within days the movement reached far beyond the universities: a general strike brought millions of workers into the streets and stopped much of the country. Walls filled with slogans such as "Sous les pavés, la plage !" — beneath the cobblestones, the beach — and the Atelier Populaire at the École des Beaux-Arts printed posters by hand, day and night.
May 68 did not overturn the state, but it changed how a generation spoke, dressed, loved and imagined the future. Its handmade posters and street poetry still shape the visual language of youth protest today.
