Wanted: Tolerance! The Civic Duty of Graphic Designers

"Accompanying the Kunstbibliothek’s exhibition “Studio Tolerance”, graphic designer and illustrator Mirko Ilić will be joining us from New York for an online talk. As initiator of The Tolerance Project and author of “The Graphics of Dissent”, Bosnian-born Ilić has long pursued an interest in socially and politically driven graphic design. In this talk, he will give an introduction to his worldwide tolerance poster project and, looking into both historic and contemporary output, identify ways how graphic designers can answer calls to civic duty. The lecture is followed by a Q & A session with Christina Thomson of the Berlin National Museums’ collection of graphic design."
