Tolerance on The Green
October 29, 2024
Traveling poster collection from the Tolerance Project on display Nov. 1-30
A unique art installation on the walkways of the University Green encourages members of the campus community to examine their personal views of tolerance. The project utilizes the power of design to remind viewers of what we all have in common—and how to bridge divisions between us.
Presented by The Tolerance Project, Tolerance on The Green has brought a message of social acceptance to thousands of viewers in 48 countries.
While more than 230 designers have been featured worldwide, each iteration of The Tolerance Project includes posters by local artists whose only direction is to illustrate the word “tolerance,” including work by Blažo Kovačeviċ, associate professor of art and design.
The posters are applied directly to the pavement and will be on view throughout the month. On Nov. 16, International Tolerance Day, project founder, artist, designer and activist Mirko Ilić will conduct a walking tour of the exhibition beginning near Gore Hall.
This exhibition was sponsored by the Visiting Speaker Committee of the Department of Art and Design and was generously supported by the Margaret P. Allen Endowed Lectureship Fund.
