Tolerance Posters

The second night after the opening of the show, someone cut and stole 10 of the posters. The people there don't think this was done out of hate but rather "just" a crime of admiration. Unfortunately, this "admiration" means other people lost the opportunity to see the work in person. Below is the organizer's statement. "ON TOLERANCE AND GOOD TASTE At the opening of the Tolerance Poster Show in Chelyabinsk I said that any exhibition on such theme as tolerance, especially when you do it outside, in town, is a kind of indicator, test for the society, because any reaction shows whether we are ready to be tolerant or not.

The Tolerance Poster Show was exhibited in Russia for the first time this Thursday, the 20th of September.  The poster show was part of the Festival of Contemporary art "Debarkader-2018". The main organizer is the State Historical Museum of South Ural, the partners are the Department of Service and Art Processing Materials of South Ural State University and "Design Events" project.  The show is exhibited in front of the State historical Museum of South Ural in Chelyabinsk.

This exhibition was part of TheMostFest|2.0, a multi-disciplinary event that also featured workshops, dance performances, and live music. The venue was a formerly abandoned hanger, which has recently been activated as a space for cultural and social events as part of Metacity: East, a project by young Ukrainian architects, thinkers, and activists who seek to draw attention to abandoned industrial spaces via urban art interventions.
