Anniversary of Destruction

Review of Tolerance Poster Show in Tiempo Argentino newspaper. The exhibition opens today at the Museo Nacional de Arte Decorativo in Buenos Aires. '“The Tolerance Project,” a traveling exhibition of graphic artists from around the world that aims to promote dialogue and inclusion' 'The “The Tolerance Project” exhibition,” concludes Juan Lo Bianco, “is also an open-air class on how to make social posters of this kind. We have been encouraging this type of joint work between public institutions for a long time, always with very good results. We have worked with the Chilean Embassy, with the Recoleta Cultural Center, with other universities, and experience tells us that working in this way enriches a project greatly.”'
