Tolerance Posters at the American University of Sharjah, UAE

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.

Here is a link to a short video of the show . Unfortunately only 24 hours later, the show was "attacked" by Neo-Nazis graffitis.
