Poster Fighter, is a poster exhibition by 2nd-year MA students Nanako Ueda (Japan) and Nikita Gavrilenko (Kazakhstan). Poster Fighter draws inspiration from medieval Asian nomadic and Japanese warriors and martial arts. The posters, in this context, are used as metaphorical fighting weapons. In addition to explore artistic and political themes, the exhibition aims to popularize posters as a medium.

 

The exhibition is on display at Luonnos-ikkuna until 14th of April, 2025.
