Tolerance at Berlin Design Week Announcement

We are pleased to share with you the first announcement of a new Tolerance Poster Show at Berlin Design Week 2026. 

The announcement is translated below:

“82 Posters. 82 Languages. One task: to visually translate the word 'Tolerance' — in one's own language, using one's own means.

The Tolerance Project is an international traveling exhibition founded by Mirko Ilić — illustrator, former Art Director of the New York Times Op-Ed pages, and one of the most influential voices in graphic and poster design worldwide. The posters were created by internationally renowned designers from all over the globe. Since 2017, the exhibition has traveled through more than 50 countries and reached over 700,000 people.

For Berlin Design Week 2026, the Tolerance Poster Show returns to the festival for a second time. 82 selected posters will be on display at Macherei — printed by Lieblingsdrucker Berlin. Political poster culture as a stance, not as decoration. A contribution that takes the festival motto, DESIGN REAL, at its word.”
