We are pleased to let you know that there are still some Tolerance Posters on display in Sofia, despite the removal of the outdoor exhibition. Running alongside the International Triennial of Stage Posters, the Connectivity collection will be on display at the Union of Bulgarian Artists building at Shipka 6 until January 20th, 2026.
CONNECTIVITY is a collection that connects images from several existing series – posters from the renowned global project Tolerance by Mirko Ilic and from the International Triennial of Stage Posters’ Contact and Coexistence initiatives. What they have in common has different manifestations – from the closeness of their thematic pathos rooted in a poster’s power to appeal for greater humanity, expressing the natural urge for peace and mutual trust in a world of deepening conflicts, through their international structure uniting artists from all over the world to the several shared posters that appear in both Contact and Tolerance, which most convincingly prove the universality of the idea of connectedness and a poster’s mission to send strong and meaningful messages. The Connectivity collection interprets a poster through the unique ability of poster art to resonate not only on an aesthetic and communicative level, but also to express a compelling moral and civic stance.
The exhibition "Connectivity" is part of the cultural program accompanying Sofia’s Chairmanship of the South-East European Cooperation Process (SEECP), which runs from 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2026 under the motto “Compass towards stability, security and sustainability,” coinciding with the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the Process.
THE TOLERANCE PROJECT has brought a message of social acceptance to over 700,000 people in 50 countries. Founded by artist-activist Mirko Ilić, this initiative showcases posters designed by artists from around the world. THE TOLERANCE PROJECT starts a conversation about inclusion, which can only begin with a foundation of tolerance. The show utilizes the unique power of design to remind us what we all have in common.
