The exhibition explores contemporary graphic design and its historical legacy within four of the six former Yugoslav republics: Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Serbia. It looks at the period between 1960 and today through the thematic lens of radical, unconventional approaches to design that deliberately break established standards, challenge, or even invert the notions of what design and visual communication entail. It leads towards understanding design as a reflective, discursive practice. One that,beyond métier and skill, has something to say about communication itself; about the social and political circumstances in which it arises; about the public space and the ripples it generates within it; and, most importantly, about ourselves.
