Tolerance Poster Show in Taipei, Taiwan

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. This show was made possible by the effort of Prof. Apex Lin, Prof. Leo Lin and Miira Lin.   The announcement poster for the Taipei show is created by Leo Lin.
