Developed for the 100th anniversary of the Bauhaus, bauhaus imaginista is an international research and exhibition project that reconsiders the global legacy and influence of Bauhaus through shifting geographies, pedagogical translations, and alternative modernities. In Istanbul, the chapter “Moving Away” was presented at SALT Beyoğlu, tracing the school’s ideological and formal transformations across diverse sociopolitical contexts, through the lens of migration and educational adaptation.

Informal Project was responsible for the visual communication design of this multilayered historical narrative. Our approach aimed to translate the exhibition’s conceptual transitions and pedagogical explorations into a visually open, intuitive, and multi-channel system. The use and circulation of typography referenced the many places where the Bauhaus travelled, changed, and left a mark.

Within the project scope, we designed exhibition posters, social media visuals, digital announcements, workshop materials, and supporting communication assets. The graphic language was developed around a visual and narrative structure that brought the spirit of the era into a contemporary design framework.

We also created visual assets for the accompanying programs “Collected Research” and “Pedagogical Adaptations in Turkey,” which included archival displays and public workshops curated by SALT. All communication materials were designed to reflect the intellectual content of the exhibition, establishing a visual system that moved fluidly across space, media, and time.
