The International Tolerance Project: Promoting Dialogue Through Design with Mirko Ilić
Mirko Ilić, a New York-based designer and illustrator, is the creator of TOLERANCE, the international traveling poster project that served as a springboard for UMFA’s ACME exhibition. Mirko will discuss the ideas behind TOLERANCE, which he hopes will help viewers see artists as promoters of tolerance and peace, and facilitators of the reconciliation process.
Presented in partnership with AIGA Salt Lake and Red Fred Project.
