The Triumph of Human Stupidity

Posters and infographics were exhibited in TAM-TAM poster gallery, Ljubljana, and as a VR Exhibition at vrallart.com, 2023.

We live in a dangerous world; civil wars, drug wars, ethnic violence, massive unpunished sexual violence against women and children, terrorist attacks and political violence. This is the pain the world is in today. Since 1995, war is back on European soil, and the Russo-Ukrainian war has so far claimed more than 350 000 victims. Soldiers experience war differently from civilians. Although both suffer in times of war, it is mainly women and children who suffer atrocities. In the last decade, up to two million children have been killed in armed conflicts around the world. Currently, two billion people live in conflict-affected areas. Can we even imagine the scale and depth of this immense field of pain? With The Triumph of Human Stupidity project, we wanted to draw attention to the war on drugs that is happening not only in Mexico but all over the world and the consequences that this war brings to people and nature worldwide.
