This exhibition catalogue is dedicated to the work of Boris Ljubičić, one of the most prominent Croatian designers of visual communications, whose extensive oeuvre spans several decades of activity in graphic design, visual identity, and public communication. Through texts and visual material, the publication traces the development of his distinctive approach—from early experimental works and redefinitions of design, to provocative and socially engaged projects, and reflections on design as a tool for shaping collective identity.
Particular emphasis is placed on Ljubičić’s understanding of design as a medium of mass communication and his long-standing commitment to creating a recognizable visual identity for Croatia. His works—including posters, logos, visual systems, and campaigns—demonstrate the power of design in shaping everyday life and public space.
This publication offers insight into a unique artistic practice and contributes to a broader understanding of the role of design within social, cultural, and political contexts.
This exhibition catalogue presents a selection of Cuban revolutionary posters created in the late 1960s and early 1970s, a period marked by intense political and social transformations. Produced within the context of the Cold War, the Cuban Revolution, and global anti-colonial movements, these posters functioned as powerful tools of political propaganda, solidarity, and mobilization.
Special emphasis is placed on the role of organizations such as OSPAAAL and COR, which used visually striking and stylistically distinctive posters to communicate ideas of anti-imperialism, international solidarity, and revolutionary identity. Characterized by vivid colors, symbolic imagery, and experimental graphic approaches, these works represent a unique fusion of art and political messaging.
The publication offers insight into the visual culture of revolution and highlights the Cuban poster as a globally recognized artistic and design phenomenon.
