Graphic Stories, in collaboration with the Calanca Biennale, present the international poster exhibition “TREE & ME”. The exhibition features posters by 60 designers from 23 countries, who depict the tree as a symbol of life, growth, memory, connectivity, migration, and resilience. The tree, in its physical and symbolic form, becomes a friend, companion, and healer to people in a world of constant change and movement.

The exhibition includes a physical Tree as an interactive installation, upon which the audience can participate by leaving their own imprint and personal message. The tree installation highlights the dynamic relationship between humans and nature through the experience of participation. The exhibition opening will be accompanied by DJ Haji Mike with reggae music.
