Political Poster Club is a workshop developed by the Austrian collective Soybot, which is a politically and socially engaged event that can have different creative practices for your posters on a topic important to the city. Once made, the posters are printed and pasted around town, engaging the general public with the theme. So far, the event has taken place in Vienna and Linz, engaging with LGBTQ+ rights, urban design and big tech. In the fourth edition of FIG, Soybot and workshop participants will develop evaluated designs that focus on Sofia and current issues.
Soybot is a micro publishing house and artist collective from Vienna with a focus on printing and performative drawing. Working in various constellations since 2010, the collective has been able to realize both national and international exhibitions and workshops. It serves as a hub for community, dialogue, and knowledge sharing.
In addition to managing print projects, Soybot is deeply engaged in various aspects of design, including Riso printing, publishing, and distribution of printed materials. The collective participates in art book fairs and shows, runs the PPC – Political Poster Club, and undertakes graphic design commissions. Notable recent projects include "Kollaborationen / Collaborations," a book that accompanied an exhibition at mumok – Museum Moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig Wien (AT), and the graphic design for the Austrian contribution by Anna Jermolaewa at the Biennale Arte 2024 in Venice (IT).
