The Tolerance Poster Show at FLUID Expo, in Podgorica, Montenegro

"Within the FLUID Expo program segment, from 2-30 November 2021 in Podgorica, an exhibition of posters TOLERANCE will be opened, which is realized in partnership by NVU FLUX, Museums and Galleries of Podgorica and the Secretariat for Culture and Sports of the Capital, in cooperation with the foundation Tolerance Project Inc. and studio Mirko Ilić Corp.
 
THE TOLERANCE PROJECT is a travelling poster collection that celebrates and honors the starting point of all meaningful discourse: tolerance. Founded by designer, illustrator and activist Mirko Ilić, this bold initiative showcases the work of over 170 designers—some established, some up-and-coming, all wildly talented.
 
It’s all part of starting a conversation about inclusion, which can only begin with a foundation of tolerance—and spreading respect in a world increasingly split by race, religion, sexuality, and national origin. In posters that are by turns playful and profound, surprising and original, THE TOLERANCE PROJECT utilizes the unique power of design to remind us what we all have in common—and what it takes to bridge the divides between us."

Here is a link to a short video of the show . Unfortunately only 24 hours later, the show was "attacked" by Neo-Nazis graffitis. On the posters, they wrote "NDH", which is the abbreviation for Nezavisna Država Hrvatska (Independent State of Croatia) a Second World War puppet state of Nazi Germany. On others, they graffitied the letter "U" which is the symbol for Ustaša the Second World War Croatian fascist organization.
