[Asia Economy Reporter Yoon Seul-gi] The Korea Contemporary Design Association (KECD) will hold the "11th Asia Graphic Triennale 2021" from the 6th to the 13th on the 3rd floor of the permanent exhibition hall at the Calligraphy Museum in the Seoul Arts Center.

The Asia Graphic Triennale, hosted by KECD, has been held every three years since its inception in 1992. Notably, this exhibition features over 316 works submitted by artists from 23 countries worldwide, including Korea, the United States, China, and Japan.

The theme of this exhibition is "The Collective," advocating for stronger convergence and collaboration. It prepares for new forms of meetings and exchanges reshaped after the COVID-19 pandemic, emphasizing that all fields related to design?industry, graphics, products, advertising, and universal design?must connect each other centered on humans. The core message of this exhibition is to address common risks to humanity through stronger convergence and cooperation than ever before.
