Timeless – EXD09 Experimenta Design
2009

Participation on the exhibition Timeless, included in the Design Biennial ExperimentaDesign. This project is the result of a critical reflection of Portuguese social and political visual communication, having as starting point a poster from the Carnation Revolution period (1974). During the process of analysis, an article was written for EXD’s website and the result is a poster that proposes a critical reflection with an “updated” version of a poster displayed in the Museu do Oriente (made circa 1975, unknown author). This poster was displayed in several streets of Lisbon, Portugal. Exhibition curated by Frederico Duarte and Pedrita for EXD09.
