Redesign of the posters for the Wiener Festwochen — Vienna’s annual international arts festival that brings together theater, music, dance, and visual arts across the city, as part of a school project.

The concept responds to Artistic Director Milo Rau’s communication in 2025 to heal the city with love. Traditional Austrian figures such as Freud, Mozart, Sissi, and Franz are there to represent Austria but their classical conventions are disrupted with floral crowns symbolizing love, combined with a bold, rock’n’roll-inspired typography. Conventions are broken and reimagined!
