Join us for a guided tour of Public Notice: The 2025 U.S. International Biennial Poster Show.
Posters are one of the most universal forms of design. Found in streets, classrooms, protests, theaters, and now digital spaces, they communicate quickly and powerfully, often across language, culture, and borders. Designed for public view, posters rely on image, typography, and symbolism to make ideas visible and values legible.
At MODA, we believe design is a creative force that inspires change, transforms lives, and shapes a better world. Posters embody that belief. Accessible and democratic by nature, they give voice to social movements, express cultural identity, and capture moments of urgency, pride, and imagination. They sit at the intersection of art and everyday life—meant not just to be seen, but to be understood and acted upon.
This exhibition brings together posters from around the world that demonstrate how designers use visual communication to respond to their communities and the challenges of their time. Seen together, these works reveal the enduring power of posters as tools for storytelling, connection, and change. They remind us that design remains one of the most effective ways to engage the public and shape shared futures.
