The exhibition gathers a selection of posters of the most successful and innovative contemporary Italian graphic designers dedicated to social and cultural issues. The Red October gallery hosts several generations of established and emerging Italian communication designers and agencies. ??The show features posters for a variety of contexts: institutions, exhibitions, public events, social campaigns, social happenings, political dissent movements, and self-generated research.??Within the exhibition, a special section is dedicated to the international work of Fabrica, the Benetton Research Centre. The posters of the centre, commissioned by UNWHO, UNICEF, the World Bank and others, address the Earth's most urgent social challenges. ??The designs exposed in the show are a mirror of contemporary Italian visual language. The selection includes from the most radical and minimalist in form to the conceptually sophisticated and non-conventional, from the ironic to the dissenting.
