PROJECT:
Amnesty International
Them–and–Us
2008
CONCEPT:
Co-curated by Richard and Stockholm based Noel Pretorius, Them–and–Us brought together 20 European and 20 African artists to collaborate on a series of double sided posters exploring the idea of tolerance.
The posters are presented in a box along with a catalogue that profiles each artist collaboration.
Each european poster is printed is blue and yellow while the recerse (and African poster) is printed in red and green.
The outside of the box features blue and yellow circles above and red and green circles below ablack string that closes the package.
When the string is untied and the package opened, the circles move towards each other and overlap, a visual metaphor for the idea of tolerance and of coming together.
Proceeds of sales went to Amnesty International.
