Magma Queeres Offenes Treffen Basel

- The A2 offset-printed poster combines bold textures with strong typography. The slogans — queer, direct, and playful — give the design an empowering voice. “Magma is an open queer gathering in Basel” stands as an open invitation. The design plays with layering, density, and printing imperfections as an expression of queerness, openness, and the courage to be visible. At the same time, it explores the diversity and depth of queerness, representing a breaking open toward new understandings and social change.
