Titled “Tolerance (寬容),” the poster features two faces, one in green and the other in blue, kissing each other against a backdrop of red. The artwork seeks to convey the importance of showing respect towards people with conflicting views in a society embracing harmony.
Designed by Lin Chun-liang (林俊良), or Leo Lin, professor at the National Taiwan Normal University's (NTNU) Department of Design, it has received the Award of Excellence from California-based magazine Communication Arts, the Platinum Award from New York-based Graphis Design Annual 2021, and an honorable mention at the Ecuador Poster Bienal.
According to NTNU, CA’s Award of Excellence is dubbed “one of the most-coveted awards in the industry,” while the Graphis design competition is a prestigious contest that celebrates international talent in design. Lin created the poster at the invitation of New York-based artist Mirko Ilić, who is curating an international poster tour exhibition themed “Tolerance.”
