SOLIDARITY WITH THE PEOPLE OF HAITIDesigned by Rafael Enríquez VegaVíctor Manuel NavarreteCommissioned by OSPAAAL (Organization of Solidarity with the People of Africa, Asia and Latin America)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 Enríquez Vega contrasted a silhouette of a limp body being dragged away with a photograph of a child by fellow designer Víctor Manuel Navarrete.
