IDA 2025 IS NOW OPEN FOR SUBMISSIONS!
The dedication to animals in art is as old as human culture. Art history is full of animals in various styles. The poster for the exhibition “WAU! Animals as Art” (WAU! Tiere als Kunst) in the Swiss Eduard Spörri Art Museum sets the focus against human cruelty to animals. It is a gentle and loving way to confront and reflect on daily atrocities. The colorful background refers to a 1000 Origami cranes as a silent but strong sign of peace. The opening performance art session to this topic also wanted to convey this message. The positive connotation of the animal should be in the foreground.
