Revolutionary poster designs from cold-war Cuba – in pictures
An upcoming exhibition at London’s House of Illustration collects 185 posters and magazines from Cuba’s golden age of design, from the 1960s to the early 90s.
“The posters tell us that Cuba sees supporting the struggles of liberation movements internationally as an integral part of its own revolution,” says curator Olivia Ahmad.
Designed in Cuba: Cold War Graphics is at House of Illustration, London N1 from 27 Sept to 19 Jan
