“Youth” International Poster Design Exhibition (Online)
Call for Papers
We plan to make visible concepts such as identity and belonging related to youth through the poster design exhibition we are organizing to create an intellectual, cultural, emotional, and visual space of expression for youth. Bringing together diverse perspectives and digital production practices, the exhibition aims to offer a collective space for thinking and sharing beyond contemporary visual language. In this context, the exhibition serves as an international platform that brings together designers who wish to make the individual and social experiences of youth visible through graphic design, encouraging critical perspectives and creativity. All designers who wish to express their “voice” on youth through graphic design, become part of contemporary visual discourse, and contribute to this collective space of sharing are invited to submit their “Youth”-themed poster designs to the exhibition.
