PROUD TO BE PRIDE

The resistance in June 1969 to the police violence and street battles directed against the queer community led to the creation of Pride Month, an annually celebrated international event.

MAK Exhibition View, 2024 PROUD TO BE PRIDE MAK Poster Forum

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.
