MAK Poster Forum
The surrounding walls of the MAK Design Lab will be adapted to become the MAK Poster Forum, offering 160 m2 of wall space for presentations in the field of poster design. In this way, the MAK creates space for current and controversial topics, because hardly any other medium addresses the zeitgeist as well as social, cultural, and political aspects as directly as the poster.
