Tolerance Posters

On April 25th, a group of educators and students from the  Institute of Art and Design at UKEN Kraków   took part in a walk along the Tolerance Poster Show route. The rainy weather did not stop the participants from engaging in discussions about the role of art and design in promoting and celebrating tolerance.

The first lecture is about the legacy of the Portuguese consul  Aristides Sousa Pereira . During the Second World War, he helped Jews in Germany to obtain Portuguese passports, and later he did the same with Jews in France. Despite the huge problems caused to him by the Portuguese fascist regime, Aristides Sousa Pereira managed to save 30,000 refugees, of which 10,000 were Jews. The speaker will be Aristides' grandson, and he is going to talk about his grandfather and his legacy.  The second lecture will be f...

On Tuesday, March 4th, at 12 PM, I gave a lecture titled "Design Activism" at the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Ljubljana in Slovenia. The lecture was organized by Maja Budec Stanicic and Aljosa Puzar.  

Tolerance poster design by David Tartakover featured in the 'Fonts in Use' blog. " For his contribution, Israeli designer David Tartakover opted for a photographic self-portrait in which he applied lipstick. The text is in English, Arabic, and Hebrew, and makes early use of Abraham . This multiscript typeface for public signage was designed as my graduation project at the KABK in The Hague. Abraham was subsequently released with Fontef .' – Daniel Grumer
