EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to March 1970 at Woolwich Polytechnic in South London. The image captures the essence of youthful rebellion and camaraderie as about twenty couples gather for a unique event - a kiss-in. These daring individuals have come together to test their endurance and determine how long they can maintain an intimate embrace. The kiss-in is not just a playful gathering; it serves a greater purpose. It is part of the Polytechnics rag, an event organized to raise funds for various charitable causes. The Albany dockside centre in Deptford, the Help the Aged Fund, and St. Nicholas Hospital in Plumstead will all benefit from this display of affectionate solidarity. As we observe the competitors at the start of the competition, their faces radiate excitement mixed with nervous anticipation. Each couple stands side by side, ready to embark on this unusual challenge that pushes social boundaries while making a positive impact on society. This photograph encapsulates both the spirit of youth activism and community engagement during that era. It reminds us that even seemingly simple acts like kissing can be transformed into powerful tools for change when driven by passion and purpose. Preserved through time by Mirrorpix's lens, this snapshot offers us a glimpse into history – an era where love was not only celebrated but also harnessed as a force for good.
