Berlin Global
BOROS × Kulturprojekte Berlin / 2021–2022
Art Direction Exhibition Identity
Finding the one idea that makes Berlin’s complexity legible — and building a system around it: Berlin Global was the centrepiece opening exhibition of the Humboldt Forum — a large-scale, immersive exploration of the relationships between Berlin and the world. The central design idea followed directly from that premise: Berlin as a city that radiates. Its influence, its contradictions, its energy — all emanating outward. This became the key visual: a glow emanating outward — an expansive visual system applied consistently across every touchpoint.












A specific challenge was to visualise a wide range of exhibition topics without losing visual coherence. A system that flexes across subjects — each poster carrying its own theme and image — while remaining unmistakably part of the same visual family. Blue-toned photography creates a consistent atmospheric register, anchored by strong typographic titles that command the format.









The exhibition is scheduled for a period of several years. In order to do justice to this long running time, a flexible colour concept ensures variety, aswell as a consistently recognizable appearance.
