An exhibit featuring graphic design from Mexico, Venezuela,
Colombia, Argentina and Brazil. The exhibition highlights works
from the early years of the design movement in Latin America as
well as more recent works that acknowledge these traditions and its
impact on Latin America. The exhibit contains posters, books,
brochures and other ephemera that demonstrate the exuberance of
icon, type, color and texture in Latin American design.
An opening reception will be held on Tuesday, April 7, from 4:30
