Tolerance Posters

On September 2, at the Tolerance Poster Show in Mostar/Bosnia and Herzegovina, a poster of Tarek Atrissi from Lebanon was vandalized. Unfortunately, this is not the first time that Tolerance posters have been vandalized, burned or destroyed. This has already happened in Zagreb/Croatia, Timisoara/Romania, Bratislava/Slovakia, Chelyabinsk/Russia and Ljubljana/Slovenia. An interesting piece of information is that out of exhibitions in 48 countries, posters were vandalized or destroyed exclusively in the countries of Eastern Europe. And this is not a coincidence, this same poster among others has already been destroyed a couple of times before. This already happened at the first Tolerance Poster Show in Ljubljana in 2017. You can read the text about it here . Or the text about graffiti "attack" by Neo-Nazis in Zagreb here .

On Friday, September 13th, an exhibition of Tolerance posters opened at the DSa gallery, located in a former cement factory in Hangzhou, China. The posters are designed by participants of the  Masterclass of Visual Design Exploration , which I led. The participants' posters are exhibited alongside the  Tolerance Poster Show , which opened in the same space on Sunday, September 1st. In the coming months, among others, Fons Hickmann, Shun Sasaki, Dan Solbach, Lin Shaobin, Peter Bankov, Mao Yiting, René Grohnert, Taku Satoh, Sven Ingmar Thies, Kakinokihara Masahiro, Marc Schütz, Chimo, Nikita Iziev, Yu Yuequ, Lizzy Onck, and Nejc Prah will teach at the  DesignSummer academy (DSa) . This masterclass is part of the DesignSummer academy (DSa), organized by  hesign studio  and the  Center for Visual Arts Berlin . Special thanks go to  Jumping He  and his hesign studio, whose relentless efforts made this workshop and the show possible.
