Catalogue published to accompany the exhibition 'North Korea's Public Face: Twentieth-century Propaganda Posters from Zellweger Collection' held at University Museum and Art Gallery, The University of Hong Kong from November 2017 to January 2018.
'Beyond their overtly ideological character, the posters convey practical messages related to new agricultural methods, or industrial and social developments, while portraying a distinctly human picture of the varied urban and rural communities across the North Korean landscape. Altogether, the imagery offers insights into a country that few have visited and from which first-hand information remains sporadic and inconsistent at best.' - excerpted from Foreword by curator Florian Knothe
Includes images of the posters and text by curator Katharina Zellweger.
