Design: Matt Warburton Client: Alison Miyauchi Date: 2005 > “For me personally war is many things. It is above all a violent, atrocious horror. But it has shaped and influenced our country and my family alike. For better or worse it has strengthened my love for Canada and my self-image as a Canadian. But since those early days of war, I have to ask “is there a place for war?”. Do we need it to achieve defined rights and freedoms among nations? I have also seen amazing negotiators in my lifetime: Lester B. Pearson and Steven Lewis for example. They have used an artillery of skills that don’t require a trigger.” – Matt Warburton > > This poster was created for the exhibition _Lest We Forget: Canadian Designers on War,_ curated by Alison Miyauchi for The Works Art and Design Festival, Edmonton, Alberta. 24 prominent Canadian designers were invited to create work for the exhibition – [a PDF of the entire exhibit can be downloaded here.](http://www.theworks.ab.ca/societyfolder/exhibits/Lest.pdf)
