Havana/the book PosterON. 10 Years of Contemporary Cuban Graphicsmade in collaboration with the Spanish publisher Hurón Azul, brings together a decade of work by CartelON, an initiative dedicated to promoting the design of cinematographic and cultural posters in Cuba, with special attention to screen printing and the continuity of one of the most recognized traditions of national graphic design.
The presentation will be led by art critic and curator Nelson Herrera Ysla, a figure linked for decades to the promotion and study of Cuban visual arts.
Throughout its ten years of history, CartelON has organized more than 40 exhibitions that have contributed to making visible the work of contemporary designers, stimulating graphic creation and disseminating the Cuban poster tradition internationally.
The publication has had the support of the Norwegian Embassy in Cuba, whose collaboration made the edition of the volume possible, as well as the support of Martín Rama, Gonzalo Quesada and the MuseoArchivioGraficaManifesto (MAGMA) for the printing of its first edition. The project also recognizes the sustained support of the Cultural Department of the Spanish Embassy in Cuba.
