“Colored spectacles are out of style!” The public poster exhibition spreading across the globe with more than 150 shows in 40 countries finally arrived in Japan for the first time. Over 200 international artists, including Milton Glaser of “I LOVE NY” participated. All kinds of diversity exist worldwide, while LGBTQ and gender imbalance are particularly concerning in Japan. Our aim is to expand poster shows accessibility to make it an opportunity for free conversation without biased views.
