DEMOGRAZIE – Designing Democracy, 2025
72 creative minds from 29 countries – a visual exploration of democracy in posters
In times of growing social tensions and global challenges, the exhibition “DEMOGRAZIA - Designing Democracy” sends out a powerful signal for the preservation of democratic values. Within just four weeks, an international network of renowned designers, artists and visionaries was brought together to engage in an impressive dialog about democracy, freedom and social commitment through poster art.
“DEMOGRAZIE - Designing Democracy” is political, provocative, reflective and at the same time practice-oriented. This initiative invites you to make democratic values visible and to find new ways to strengthen them. I created the name and design of the logo and the poster and will thank the curator Mana Rahnama for the collaboration.
