An Icograda conference on the theme ‘Identity/Integrity’ was run concurrently with the 20th Brno Biennial, one of the most prominent events of its kind in the world. Many came to Brno in mid June 2002 for an exciting week of design events which transformed this lively city in the center of Europe into the international capital of visual communication. The project Brno, Capital of Visual Communication, was co-organized by the Moravian Gallery in Brno, Icograda and Design Austria.
