A collection of graphic creations, signed by Cuban designers, is circulating online today in solidarity with Venezuela, following the military attack it suffered on January 3rd by forces of the US government.
The works emerge thanks to the initiative "Cartel Urgente" (Urgent Poster), a non-profit project born from the desire to express urgent and concerning problems of today's world, highlights the Facebook page of the Instituto Superior de Diseño (ISDi).
On the platform, one can see posters by Roberto Pérez (Potto), Pepe Menéndez, Ana Beatriz Peña, Ana Gabriela Crespo, Roberto Chávez, among many others.
Cartel Urgente x Venezuela (Vol. 1 and 2) offers internet users the possibility to reflect—through graphics—on the complex scenario facing the sister Bolivarian nation as a consequence of the attack that resulted in the kidnapping of constitutional President Nicolás Maduro and his companion Cilia Flores.
Tu casa es mi casa (Your House is My House), Hands off Venezuela, Sed de oro negro (Thirst for Black Gold), and Pirate of the Caribbean are some of the titles accompanying this visual proposal.
Through this initiative, Cuban designers express their support for Venezuela and its right to sovereignty. It is also another way to condemn the imperialist invasion.
Since the news of the attack broke—which claimed the lives of 32 Cubans and other Venezuelan combatants—the international community has publicly condemned an act described as state terrorism.
