Crossroads of Western and Eastern Europe, a poster exhibition co-presented by the Slovak Consulate General in NY, the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs of the Slovak Republic, and The Cooper Union Herb Lubalin Study Center of Design and Typography, highlights 26 designs by contemporary Slovakian artists, including Ján Baláž, Peter Eliáš, Andrej Haščák, Peter Javorík, Eva Jenčuráková, Lenka Sisak, and Mykola Kovalenko. The exhibition, on view in the Foundation Building's colonnade windows through August 18, offers a representative selection of contemporary politically engaged posters from Slovakia that aim to raise awareness about issues such as climate change, freedom, and war.

Curator Adrián Kobetič notes that "The posters address many of the most pressing problems society is currently facing such as the alarming acceleration of global warming, the financial crisis, and, more recently, the Russian invasion of Ukraine and other armed conflicts around the world. The exhibition also features an authentic Ukrainian aspect through the participation of the Ukrainian graphic designer Mykola Kovalenko, an artist who has lived and worked in Slovakia for many years."

The idea of presenting Slovak poster design to a foreign audience grew out of the Trnava Poster Triennial held at the Ján Koniarek Gallery since 1991. From the beginning, the Triennial benefitted from the participation of leading graphic designers from around the world, but the Crossroads of Western and Eastern Europe exhibition attempts to reverse this by presenting Slovak posters internationally and to raise the visibility of the art of the Slovak poster.
