Tolerance Posters

On May 21st we had an opening of the Tolerance Poster show at Yeditepe University in Istanbul, Turkey. The posters were displayed throughout the main halls of the campus. There are 120 posters exhibited, including 10 Turkish designers who created posters especially for this show. 

The show was opened by Yeditepe University RectorProf. Dr. Canan Aykut Bingol. And a special attendance made by the founding president of Yeditepe University, Bedrettin Dalan. All of this was made possible by the efforts of Head of Graphic design and Assistant Prof. Ozlem Mutaf Buyukarman.

On May 15th, we had an opening of the Tolerance Poster show at Zayed University at their Urban Satellite Space (ZUUSS), Warehouse 48, Alserkal Avenue. The show will be open until June 30th, 2019. 
Due to the "sensitive nature", some of the posters were removed from the show. The organizer decided, rather than leave them out of the show altogether, they were included as a “sculpture” in the middle of the room so that there was an opportunity for discussion with the visitors.

I am very proud to announce that six of the Tolerance Poster Show posters are accepted in Graphis Poster Annual 2020. Not only did they get accepted but they all won awards.
Gunter Rambow - Platinum Award, Kari Piippo - Gold Award, Kit Hinrichs - Gold Award, Ovidiu Hrin - Gold Award, Ariane Spanier - Silver Award, Finn Nygaard - Silver Award.
Sincere congratulations to designers and thank you once again for your contribution to The Tolerance Project.

I would especially like to thank Adolfo Lucero, Vice President of the school, because it was his idea to create a second rendition of the show.

The leading Arabic advertising magazine, Arab Adformed among students and professionals organized a contest for true Arabic countries to compete for the best Tolerance Poster design after being inspired by the show’s message.
