Wanted: Tolerance! The Civic Duty of Graphic Designers

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.

The lecture is followed by a Q & A session with Christina Thomson of the Berlin National Museums’ collection of graphic design."
