Upcoming Tolerance Poster Show in Cusco, Peru

We are happy to announce that the Tolerance Poster Show will take place in Peru in the mythical city of Cusco, the archaeological capital of the Americas and the navel of the world. The Tolerance Poster Show will be on display from August 19th at 8:00 p.m. to August 31st in the hall of Museo Machupicchu - Casa Concha. This will be the first Tolerance Poster Show in Peru.

Museo Machupicchu - Casa Concha is home to the largest collection of Machu Picchu artifacts in the world. Casa Concha was built during the colonial era on the site of Puka Marka, which was the residence of the royal lineage of Tupac Inka Yupanqui. In the main patio, visitors will notice a glass-covered excavation pit revealing the Inca floor, six feet below the present surface.

We are grateful to Edinson Cárdenas and Asociación Peruana de Diseño (The Peruvian Design Association), who made the show possible. 

Here is the first announcement of the show.

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. And they even wrote "Smrt Srbozločincima" (Death to the Serbian criminals). Luckily, the organizers of the show figured out how to remove this hate speech and the symbols.
