Fight for Kindness Poster Exhibits Launch Nov 13 in 5 Cities

From the release:

On November 13, World Kindness Day, Fight for Kindness, a project by TypeCampus sponsored by Zetafonts, launches its 2026 Global Exhibition Season with five simultaneous exhibitions in Budapest (Hungary), Rome (Italy), Barcelona (Spain), Plovdiv (Bulgaria) and Bandung (Indonesia).

The opening marks the fifth edition of the international, non-profit initiative, which celebrates kindness through typography and visual communication as an act of resistance to the culture of arrogance and supremacy.

This year, the open call received more than 1,000 posters from 83 countries, in 42 different languages and scripts, bringing together diverse voices and cultures around a shared desire for positive social change. Following the simultaneous opening, the exhibition programme will continue in Pasadena (USA), Florence (Italy) and Putrajaya (Malaysia), with more venues to be announced.

Fight for Kindness is a project by TypeCampus, the cultural hub dedicated to the culture of typography, and is sponsored by Zetafonts, the independent type foundry founded in Florence in 2001 by Cosimo Lorenzo Pancini, Francesco Canovaro and Debora Manetti. Together, they support a non-profit initiative connecting typography, graphic design and social responsibility.

Founded in 2022 by Debora Manetti, the project has grown from an open call into an international cultural platform encompassing exhibitions, educational initiatives, creative partnerships and annual publications. Each year, it celebrates World Kindness Day on November 13, using design to make kindness visible and encourage a wider conversation about the values that connect people.
