ASSOCIATION OF GRAPHIC DESIGNERS “4TH BLOCK” and BOOK ARSENAL KYIV PRESENT
👁️🗨️
FREEDOM. RESPONSIBILITY. ACTION. The project that brings together posters selected from among the finalists and winners of the international triennial “4th Block” and the poster campaign “Nuclear Scar: Past · Present · Future”. This is not a retrospective, but a field of visual expressions gathered together, in which different years, contexts and authorial voices are combined into a common conversation about the limits of freedom and the weight of responsibility.
✏️
The exhibition presents + 60 posters by designers from 37 countries of the world. Each poster is a reaction to reality, an attempt to record the state of the world and at the same time influence it. In this multiplicity of positions, a common sense of time is manifested, in which freedom no longer exists without consequences, and action becomes its continuation.
The exhibition is built as a space of tension between man and environment, between memory and experience of the present. Here, images of ecological vulnerability coexist, reminding of the fragility of the natural balance, and visual reflections of the Chornobyl disaster, which still defines the idea of responsibility as a historical and political choice. Works created in response to the war sound nearby, where freedom appears not as an abstraction, but as a daily practice of resistance.
