REBEL PRINTS
The Poster Rex Manifesto
Poster Rex was founded in 2014 by Markus Lange and Lars Harmsen after a screen printing workshop in Cuba. In the following years, the two designers conducted numerous printing sessions and workshops around the world, inviting local designers to create experimental posters. Each session focused on predetermined themes from politics, current events, and social issues, emphasizing one thing above all: attitude! What emerged is an impressive testament to the enduring power of creativity and the deeply human capacity for hope, often accompanied by a call to take concrete action.
The poster collection of the collective Poster Rex now includes over 3,000 unique pieces. All posters are hand-printed using the screen printing technique. The exhibition features a selection of around 100 pieces chosen by Markus Lange and Lars Harmsen.
“This exhibition is dedicated to all those who live in countries where the government restricts the right to protest. There, where art becomes the weapon of choice for the brave and the bold. These poster artists are agents of dissent, challenging the very foundations of the regime. Their art is a form of resistance, a weapon in the fight for freedom, and democracy.”
