House of Tolerance - Festival of Tolerance, Slovenia

Here are some photos from the Tolerance show opening at the House of Tolerance festival in Ljubljana, Slovenia. We're very grateful to all the artist who participated and created the Tolerance posters.

On November 24th, we had the opening of the Tolerance Poster Show in the Ximen Red House in Taipei. The Red House is a historical building that has over 500 visitors per day. The Tolerance Poster Show takes place alongside the Taiwan International Student Design Competition Award Ceremony. This not only enriches the exhibition of the award-winning designs but also introduces more teachers and students in Taiwan to The Tolerance Project.
