Tolerance Posters

Last month, the Tolerance Poster show opened at the Zayed University College of Arts and Creative Enterprises, Abu Dhabi. The exhibition is open in the Al Fonoun gallery on the university campus.

Because of limited space, they only showed a selection of 32 posters. However, the school is planning a more public outdoor exhibition in the fall, in collaboration with the Abu Dhabi Music & Arts Foundation. This upcoming exhibition will be an opportunity to showcase all the posters.

Special thanks to David Howarth, Paul Klok, and Tarek Atrissi for organizing this exhibition.

Last Friday, part of the Tolerance Traveling Poster show opened in Bucharest as part of Romanian Design Week 2018. The posters are presented in the hall leading up to the main event. Here's an excerpt from the press release for Romanian Design Week:

"Romanian Design Week, the most important multidisciplinary event in Romania, at its sixth edition, will be held in Bucharest between 18-27th of May. The RDW program will present the current development status of local design and creative industries: architecture, urbanism, interior design, graphic design, illustration, fashion design, object design or any other initiatives and projects that use creativity as a main resource."

This exhibition was made possible by the generous effort of Ovidiu Hrin and Denise Benmosché.

I'm very excited to share that last Thursday, Tolerance Posters opened at KZNSA Gallery in Durban, South Africa in partnership with Design Indaba.

The show was organized by Angela Shaw, the Creative Director at KZNSA Gallery. I've enclosed some photographs from the opening courtesy of Llwellyn Makhanya.

Below is a short news segment about the show from SABC Digital News South Africa. It features interviews with Angela Shaw and contributing designer Garth Walker.

Below are photographs of the Tolerance Poster Show at Designmonat Graz, Austria. The show will be officially open Saturday, May 5. This installation was made possible by the generous effort of Eberhard Schrempf.

Last week, the Tolerance Poster show opened at the library of the American University of Sharjah (AUS), UAE. The library is a high-traffic venue, receiving over 19,000 visitors per week. I am grateful to Kevin Badni, Associate Professor and Head of the Department of Art and Design, and Riem Ibrahim, Assistant Professor of Art and Design for their efforts in organizing this show, which will run until the end of June. Unfortunately, due to space limitations, not all posters were able to be included.

This is a video showing my lecture Design of Dissent, and also the opening of the Tolerance Show at The Museum of Contemporary Art in Zagreb, Croatia, on April 16th. The show was opened by the ambassador of Switzerland to Croatia, Stefan Estermann, among others.


Below is a video of the second part, which took place in front of the School of Applied Arts and Design. The last part of the video features student work dealing with the same subject of tolerance.

The Tolerance Show opened on April 16th at two locations in Zagreb—the first in front of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Zagreb, and the second in front of the School of Applied Arts and Design. The show runs until May 16th. 
This exhibition was organized in collaboration with UBU – the Association of Former ŠPUD Students, the School of Applied Arts and Design, the Museum of Contemporary Art and the Academy of Fine Arts, and the Runaway Art partner project.
I'm very grateful to all of the organizers for their effort, their diligence, and their contributions to this project. It certainly would not have happened without them.
