“If Walls Could Speak”
Little known, but incredibly powerful: the firewall. It protects us from all kinds of online threats in this wild digital world we navigate. Perhaps the firewall is our true silent friend, for just imagine: "If walls could speak!

The Unfollow the Leader project, featured in this exhibition, presents wall newspapers by first-year graphic design students exploring the recent history of their field. Using this medium to engage a non-specialist audience, the project highlights contemporary trends and offers fresh perspectives. While well-documented, design history remains fragmented and often Western-centric. This ongoing initiative, currently a traveling exhibition, will lead to an unconventional book.
