Title of the poster "Κούπα" / "Cup".
100 graphic designers based Greece, Cyprus and abroad were invited to create 100 poster about Crete with any kind of technic; 100 unique posters that will reveal the different cultural, tourist, anthropological, ecological and gastronomic aspects of the island.
All the money raised will support the Department of ELEPAP in Chania and HORIZON, two of the most active nonprofit organisations for children with disabilities. The exhibition is co-organised by the Region of Crete, the Regional Unit of Chania, the Municipality of Chania and the Ephorate of Antiquities of Chania.
"Κούπα" (Greek translation for "Cup") is the traditional action in Crete, where someone drinks a cup of alcohol in a gulp, usually challenged by another person. The poster was inspired by the action of "Κούπα" and the infamous Camp-Stool Fresco from Faistos, Minoan Crete (fresco is a painting done rapidly in watercolour on wet plaster on a wall or ceiling, so that the colours penetrate the plaster and become fixed as it dries).
