"Les jeudis midi de l’affiche" are back!

One Thursday every month from September to June, Geneva Library will hold a series of conferences devoted to graphic creation, offering artists, graphic designers, historians, illustrators, curators and journalists the chance to share their thoughts. 

Over a lunch break, the people concerned by Swiss posters present the treasures carefully conserved by Geneva Library. The season opens with the international star, Werner Jeker, delving into his archives and collected works to take a look back at the five decades of the graphic designer's career.
