Bastaki: NBK’s support to this exhibition is a recognition of the important and pivotal role that culture plays in promoting our culture
National Bank of Kuwait (NBK) provides its support to Contemporary Art Platform (CAP)’s “100/100 Best Hundred Arabic Posters Exhibition” for the first time in Kuwait, as part of the bank’s continuous efforts to stand by the social and cultural institutions in Kuwait.

“NBK’s CSR strategy focuses on supporting cultural activities that aims at building bridges between generations”, said Farah Bastaki, NBK Digital Communications Manager.
“NBK is keen that cultural and historical related events do attract a large segment of the society and it is our duty as a leading institution to be part in spreading cultural activities and help society to be engaged more and continuing to enhance Kuwait and Arab’s history and tradition for years to come”, she noted.
Its worth mentioning that a design workshop took place in line with this exhibition to bring together artists to reimagine the NBK Moneybox in designs inspired by the Kuwait Postage Stamps. The designs that were the outcome of this workshop were then showcased in the exhibition.Real NBK advertisements from the 1960s and 1970s that feature Arabic typography were displayed in this exhibition.

It honors the best posters from the Arabic region that captured the contemporary visual culture of the Arab world. It is held every two years and with each new edition creating an archive of Arabic graphic design
