Presenting 40 posters, a small fraction of current Iranian graphic design scene, this collection offers an exciting landscape of experimental and compelling works that are informed by a rich history of visual culture.

One of the qualities that makes current Iranian graphic design unique is its rich cultural history as demonstrated and displayed in the forms of calligraphy and typography. The three exhibitions at York University encompass 50 years of Iranian visual culture, showcasing over 150 pieces, ranging from iconic works of the first generation of Iranian designers to works by young emerging talents.
