“The International Poster Biennale in Warsaw”.

To whom it may concern,

The series of posters explores the ideology of moralizing and censorship in art as a tool of exclusionary propaganda. It examines the concept of a black-and-white world, where simplistic thinking reduces reality to a set of “correct” forms.

Moral superiority. Labeling people as “good” and “bad”.
Ideological purity. Promoting the “right” people.
Vilifying some nationalities while glorifying others.
Collectivizing society and erasing individuality.

(Pol.) pozór [pretense]—(Rus.) позор (translit.) pozor [shame].

“You are a bad person because I don't know you”.
“You are a bad person because you are from Europe”.
“You are a bad person because you are a jury member of The 29th International Poster Biennale in Warsaw”.
