XVIII Artistic Festival of Academic Youth FAMA

The poster for the 18th Artistic Festival of Academic Youth FAMA, held in Świnoujście from July 3 to 18, 1988, features a large, surreal male face with a theatrical, almost jester-like expression. His hair is curled in a whimsical way, resembling horns, while small white fish float around his head—one of them swimming directly into his mouth. The saturated orange-red color scheme contrasts with the empty, pale background, intensifying the portrait’s expression. Designed by an artist signed as “Stępień,” the poster draws attention with its humor and subtle grotesqueness. The overall effect creates an unsettling yet playful mood, perfectly capturing the alternative spirit of FAMA.
