The “Anschlag Berlin──Poster Design from Berlin” exhibition, organised by the Cultural Affairs Bureau, will open at the Tap Seac Gallery, featuring a total of 70 posters by 35 designers from several Berlin-based design studios.

To complement the exhibition, the Cultural Affairs Bureau will organize a seminar entitled “From Berlin to Macau: Designer’s stage ”, to which all are welcome.

Berlin, with its rich historical background and cultural uniqueness, provides an open environment for designers, enhancing their creativity and allowing the coexistence of multiple ideas regarding design. The posters featured in this exhibition are works inspired by the Zeitgeist Movement and contemporary Berlin, created by exceptional contemporary designers from renowned Berlin-based design studios, including Cyan, LSD, HeSign, EPS51, Ruddigkeit, Ariane Spanier, Fons Hickmann m23, Surface, among others. The exhibition includes posters relating to art exhibitions, festivals, concerts, performances and social issues. By sharing works that blend art and design, the Cultural Affairs Bureau hopes to provide a source of inspiration and an exchange opportunity for Macao design professionals.
