Fairey Shepard, the American illustrator who became widely known in 2008 for his Barack Obama "Hope" poster, will be the subject of a video postcard on art and dialogue for UNICRI Lab’s Dialogue and Innovation Office.



The street artist, who last week was participating in a project for the restoration of Venice, was filmed and interviewed by UNICRI’s Lab video makers while painting in his studio and exposing his works in San Marco square. The shootings will be used to make a video postcard aiming at presenting the artist’s works and, in general, the art as an effective mean of communication and a powerful tool for the promotion of dialogue.
