Eyes On The Netherlands

14-30 May 2021

Eyes On

In 2021 we organized a calendar of initiatives, independant from the festival program, dedicated to the Netherlands in Italy thanks to the collaboration with the festival of Breda, Graphic Matters and the Netherlands Embassy and Consolate. In 2020 both partners had already participated in the artistic residence exchange project held between Print Club Torino and the Blind Walls Gallery of Breda.

 

From 14th to 30th May we hosted a vast exhibition itinerary, a series of workshops and a calendar of events and digital insights dedicated to visual communication in the Netherlands and the contamination between styles and influences of European countries in the graphics sector.
