“The Art of (anti) Corruption” is a year-long series of events implemented by Impact Hub Yerevan in partnership with the European Union in Armenia.
Through artistic and cultural interpretations of corruption in Armenia, the Art of (anti) Corruption campaign seeks to raise awareness, educate and shine a creative light on the complicated effects of corruption on Armenian society and beyond.
As part of this campaign, Impact Hub Yerevan is initiating an anti-corruption poster competition & exhibition, in collaboration with curator/artist Samvel Saghatelian.
Through this competition & exhibition, art becomes a form of defiance and resistance against corruption in Armenia. A poster art approach, combined with a simple, sharp message and visual information, can be extremely effective in raising awareness and impacting public opinion.
Among the various art forms, the influence of poster art on societies across the globe has been significant – through brilliant examples of provocative posters during the Soviet period (see examples) and more modern examples from Poster4tomorrow (see examples).
The official hashtag of this project is #ArtofCorruption.
