United Notions in order to investigate into cultural clichés of other countries, find similarities & differences and try to express them by means of visual communication, teamed with 19 more studios from across the globe to brief each other and create 2 posters each: one based on personal choice, another based on a brief from the peers. The result of the collaboration is an exhibition: 40 posters from 20 studios, explaining simple and complex things through type, illustration, form and colour.
The aim is to show that as much as we differ from each other, we still can speak the same language. While governments and politicians can’t come to certain agreements, we still can relate to each others culture.
Final exhibition United Notions will be hold in the centre of art and culture in the most pictur¬esque city in Russia, in St. Petersburg.
Location: “Taiga”- experimental platform combining together young professionals in creative fields for collaboration and creativity.
