DescriptionThis poster, featuring both photographs and illustrations, promotes an exhibition at the Brooklyn Children’s Museum in New York of distinctive shoes from around the world. The show included examples from more than 40 countries, displayed in two sections, one representing a factory and the other a shoe store. The idea was to encourage children to explore different cultures by “walking in other people’s shoes.”
