Jaarbeurs Affiche

Jaarbeurs is an exhibition venue that hosts fairs, conferences, events, and other meetings. Every year, they organise a poster competition where HKU students are challenged to create a poster within a given theme. This edition was about a new campaign they started called ‘De wereld van Jaarbeurs’, where diversity is the main theme.

The entangled tubes represent the diversity of activities that are held at the Jaarbeurs and togheter form unity. They are also an abstract reference to the two intertwined snakes of the Caduceus, the staff carried by Mercury who is an icon for the Jaarbeurs.
