& Now East, European Design Festival 2026

AndNowEast is the central exhibition of the European Design Festival 2026, presenting a new selection of contemporary posters from Eastern Europe. Organised by Bucharest-based Local Design Circle, the project explores the poster not only as a medium of visual communication, but also as a space for authorship, cultural commentary, and visual experimentation. Selected through an open call, the exhibition reflects diverse perspectives on identity, transition, and contemporary visual culture across the region.

The exhibition is part of the official program of The European Design Festival 2026 in Sofia. The event is organized by Studio Komplekt, Melba Foundation, the European Design Festival and the International Council of Design.
