100 x Independence
In 2018, a special year in which Poland and many other countries celebrate anniversaries of their independence, the Poster Museum in Wilanów is hosting an extraordinary exhibition prepared by the Polish-Japanese Academy of Information Technology in cooperation with 17 artistic design schools from all over the world. Their aim is to answer the question of how design students interpret the meaning of the word “independence”.
The project was initiated at the PJAIT in Warsaw with seminars and workshops led by an international group of lectures. Supervised by teachers, students created printed and animated posters. Each institute organized a competition and sent their best works. The result: 100 representatives of the young generation voicing their contemporary interpretation of the concept of ‘independence’. They present their own definitions and perspectives, based on various cultural contexts and historical experiences.
