Visegrad Karma

A symbolism is travelling Europe – a symbolism of the revolutionary year 1989. The Visegrad Karma exhibition presents the social change in Hungary, Poland and Czechoslovakia as it happened on posters promoting books, theater performances, concerts, festivals, and political ideas. Aside from the love of posters, the show’s goal is to promote freedom and human rights issues that motivated the original posters, issues to which the society seems to be paying less and less attention – just as to the poster medium itself. After stops in Budapest, Hungary, Košice, Slovakia and Kielc, Poland, Visegrad Karma opens September 3^rd at Johan Center in Plzeň, Czech Republic. Aleš Najbrt has two posters at the exhibition, 1989 and The Prague 5.
