Exciting and interesting international art goes on display in the Raglan Old School Art Centre’s gallery from December 11. Arranged by Raglander Xavier Meade, the exhibition of work from the international poster project was on display in Havana, Cuba and at Wintec in Hamilton earlier this year.
The intent of this international poster project revolves around global concerns. The urgent need to protect our environment, as a way to preserve the human species, is fundamental to the way we educate and engage present and future generations. Visual Communication Design students of the Instituto Superior de Diseño in Havana, Cuba and students of the Bachelor of Mediarts of the Waikato Institute of Technology in Hamilton, and contexts, but they have in common the sensitivity to care for the environment and the certainity that something can be done to contribute to eco-educational awareness. It is for this reason that students and tutors from both institutes have joined communication space for academic and cultural exchange on this topic.
This project was made possible within existing courses in the two institutions; where students environs, researched the issues and conceptualised and developed the poster designs. The outcome of this experience is the joint exhibition of twenty posters that were part of the Forma 2015 VIII Congreso Internacional de Diseño “Diseño con Sentido” in Havana, Cuba (16-18 June 2015) and at Wintec in Hamilton. Now to be on exhibition in Raglan at the Old School Arts Centre 5 Stewart St Raglan.
