Rafael Enríquez Vega, FOREIGN DEBT, 1983

Between the 1960s and 1990s, more than fifty designers worked at OSPAAAL (the Organisation of Solidarity with the People of Africa, Asia and Latin America). 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.

From 1977 onwards, Rafael Enríquez Vega was creative director at OSPAAAL and a prolific poster designer. In Foreign Debt, he uses a crucifix to accuse the International Monetary Fund of sustaining the U.S. dollar by sacrificing the economies of developing countries.
