Signs of Conflict

[Jan Ackenhausen]

Earlier this year the exhibition Signs of Conflict opened in Beirut during the Home Works festival. The exhibition tries to make sense of the visual language used during the Lebanese "Civil War", more specific the political posters use during the conflicts. This research was carried out by the American University in Beirut.

The collection of political posters is now available online, through the AUB Jafet Library.

Hi Jan. Thanks a lot for sharing with us this very interesting collection. I imagine that the display of so many images was impressive. The quantity gives me the idea of the huge amount of information (and of course also visual information) politics need to enter people's life and affect their behaviour. Thanks
