One way to start a conversation about tolerance
Salt Lake City, Utah, USA
"Four years ago Mirko Ilic, a Serbo-Croatian-born, New York-based designer and illustrator, made graphic design for the film festival at the House of Tolerance in Ljubljana, Slovenia, including an identity, logo, and posters as part of a fundraising effort. To show appreciation for his work, after a year and half, the organizers offered Ilic a small square next to the festival with thirty poster spaces to show his work.

“'I didn’t think that it was appropriate to abuse my position and use this occasion to promote myself,' he told Steven Heller. So, in thinking about how to fill that space, he invited twenty-one internationally prominent artists, illustrators and designers to create posters on the theme of tolerance. The only instructions were the size of the poster, they had to write the word 'tolerance' in their language, and to sign with their country of origin. 'Less than four weeks later, I received all twenty-one posters' plus two for a title and introduction. Two and half years later the exhibit comprises 133 posters with more on the way.'" But the journey hasn't always been easy. Some people, it seems, have a real problem with tolerance.
