Polski Projekt: Polish Posters and Typefaces
HMCT Gallery, 2022

Celebrating Poland’s rich heritage of graphic communication, Polski Projekt brings together work from two practices: poster and type design. This exhibition represents the history of both fields, emerging from a society with strong sociopolitical disruptions, a cultural dependence on national traditions, and a slow pace of economic and commercial growth.

Exhibition design and curation: Lavinia Lascaris
Creative consultant: Simon Johnston
Design assistance: Ximena Amaya
Exhibition preparator: Joshue Molina
