"the brick"
“the brick”: each creative soul resembles a brick, each brick becomes part of the growth of the creative culture in this region. Therefore, creating a solid base for the upcoming future.
Over the course of time, art has always been closely linked to social context, appearing in many different forms with the majority being displayed in galleries and exhibitions. In this continuing evolution, and with the societal and technological developments, poster art was given the room to grow and stand out in terms of social engagement, availability, and impact.
