Overview

Description

To help in the global fight against intolerance.

Execution

Working in two prescribed colours, each artist have created a poster. The reverse features a poster designed by an artist from the other continent. Communication and the cross-pollination of ideas and styles have been actively encouraged, and the resulting posters/publication form a vivid dialogue centred on the notion of Them–and–Us, and the broader themes of tolerance and intolerance, as seen from their respective cultural viewpoints. The publication profiles all the artists involved as well as interviews with each artist, there are also excerpts of discussions taken from the online forum used by the participants to debate their individual approaches.

Outcome

The publication has been well received at exhibitions as well as selected book stores.
