This is the press release for the first Tolerance Poster Show in Japan.
The show will be a part of this year's Roppongi Art Night, Tokyo's most important two-day art festival on May 27/28 (Sat/Sun). While the event recorded over 800,000 visitors in the past, this year's attendance is expected to exceed 1,000,000. The Tolerance Poster Show will be displayed on art boards along Roppongi street prior to other programs beginning May 23 (Tue).
This show was made posible by director Aya Komboo, professor Matthew
Waldman, and SAMCARA Design Lab of Keio University's Graduate School of Media Design, and with much help from Yuko Shimizu.
THE TOLERANCE PROJECT has brought a message of social acceptance to over 700,000 people in 50 countries. Founded by artist-activist Mirko Ilić, this initiative showcases posters designed by artists from around the world. THE TOLERANCE PROJECT starts a conversation about inclusion, which can only begin with a foundation of tolerance. The show utilizes the unique power of design to remind us what we all have in common.
