About the poster
As is tradition, the winner of the previous year’s RM Public Choice Award has designed this year’s Best of Graduates poster. Last year, Mounir Eddib was chosen by the public as their favorite artist from the Best of Graduates 2024. His image sets the tone for the exhibition and reflects the themes in his work. Eddib is a Moroccan-Belgian painter and mixed media artist from Waterschei (Genk, Belgium), a post-industrial neighbourhood shaped by mining and migration. His work draws on personal history and speaks to broader ideas of community, belonging, and cultural memory.
