About the event
Paper, Place, Power: The Global Language of Posters, an exhibition that celebrates the power, beauty, and diversity of poster design.
From bold street graphics to poetic typographic statements, posters have long served as tools for protest, promotion, celebration, and storytelling. This exhibition will highlight the poster’s role as an international language — one that transcends borders and speaks to culture, politics, identity, and art.
Paper, Place, Power: The Global Language of Posters will be on display until October 12, 2025. Follow Scarabclub.org for additional details on gallery talks and lectures on posters and our exhibition.
