Olympic Aid Sarajevo 1992

This powerful original poster was issued in connection with Lillehammer Olympic Aid, linking the legacy of the Sarajevo 1984 Winter Olympics with the humanitarian crisis during the Bosnian War in Sarajevo.

The design is striking and emotionally charged, featuring a grainy, high-contrast photographic image of a child rendered in a stark, almost documentary style. Bold orange typography reading “Sarajevo ’84” and “Sarajevo ’92” creates a powerful visual and conceptual contrast—highlighting the transition from the optimism of the Olympic Games to the tragedy of war less than a decade later. Additional graphic inserts and text elements reinforce the poster’s role as a call for awareness and support.

Produced as part of the Lillehammer Olympic Aid campaign ahead of the 1994 Winter Olympics, the poster reflects a moment when the Olympic movement sought to respond to the unfolding humanitarian crisis in the Balkans.

Condition: Excellent condition with strong color and clean overall presentation.

A rare and historically significant poster, highly sought after by collectors of political graphics, Olympic memorabilia, and socially engaged design.
