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 now includes over 3,000 unique pieces.
