SOLIDARITY WITH THE PEOPLE OF HAITI, 1980
Between the 1960s and 1990s, more than fifty designers worked at OSPAAAL. Based in Cuba, they made magazines and posters that were sent around the world. Their aim was to promote radical political ideas. Many of their posters celebrate socialist revolutions and liberation movements from the Global South.
To show support for people in Haiti experiencing state-sponsored violence, Rafael EnrÃquez Vega contrasted a silhouette of a limp body being dragged away with a photograph of a child by fellow designer VÃctor Manuel Navarrete. The identity of the child is not recorded as part of the design.
