Black-and-white poster for the Warwick Continental Philosophy Conference titled “Tracing Genealogy.” The design features abstract, organic cut-out shapes revealing photographs of curved concrete architecture and a staircase. Text announces the conference dates, “29th–30th Jun. 26,” and includes a QR code labeled “Further information.” A paragraph explains the theme of genealogy in continental philosophy, referencing thinkers such as Nietzsche, Foucault, Hume, and Bernard Williams. The poster notes that it is a call for papers issued by the PKEP, Department of Philosophy, University of Warwick.
