The World After – The latest project by PosterTerritory.

The World After is the latest project by PosterTerritory, where graphic artists from all over the globe imagine what the world will be like after the COVID pandemic. 
The global pandemic of 2020 is a devastating health crisis that continues to plague our species. Faced with this terrible curse that is unlike anything else humanity had experienced in over a hundred years, the world changed practically overnight.

The aftershocks of this dramatic transformation are still being felt and we do not know what the world will be like after COVID, but there is no doubt that it will not be the same as the one we remember.

This is why we launched The World After poster call, asking graphic artists from around the globe how they envision the world to be after COVID – will things go back to normal or are these transformations here to stay. (Olga Severina)
