International Poster Exhibition

I found this exhibition at the Lighthouse really interesting so was pleased to catch it just before it closes.  The posters were selected from 6095 works from 832 countries, and filtered down to a final 140 pieces for the exhibition.

It is described as follows -
'Posters offer a universal platform for communication and have been utilised for centuries to provoke, promote, celebrate, and stimulate.
They act as a simple vehicle for communication and have provided a powerful framework for political agendas, War propaganda and the dissemination of public information, alongside being used as tools to sell commercial goods and services. However, outwith their functional existence, they provide a canvas for millions of designers around the world.'

The one that sticks in my mind , and can be seen in the picture, is Martin Luther King sporting a Trump baseball cap - with the slogan  - "THIS WAS NOT MY DREAM"
