The aim of this competition is to bring poster artists together so that they can contribute to the development of Poznań, the art of poster and the idea of self-edited authorial poster. We invite professional artists to create posters that will be a creative response to the theme ‘Poznan in a Poster’. This initiative is a call for solidarity in the time of the global epidemic. We wish to fight pessimism and the recent tendency of shutting down cultural initiatives.
