06.07.2007 News
La Habana (Cuba) - The opening celebrations of Design/Culture: Icograda World Design Congress 2007
will take place on 20 October, Cuba's national Day of Culture, and
feature two unique exhibitions. Whether you plan to attend the
Education Conference, the International Conference, or take in all five
days of the Congress, you'll want to be sure to arrive in time to share
in this special day.
Posters for Cultural Diversity
The international exhibition 'Posters for Cultural Diversity' was inspired by the desire to reflect on peoples' rights to preserve the cultural diversity and the challenges posed by the globalisation of communications. Organised under the patronage of UNESCO's Office for Latin America and the Caribbean, 100 designers from 26 countries have been invited to express their interpretation of cultural diversity as a "common legacy of mankind." The exhibition has been curated by Hector Villaverde, president of Prografica. The opening will take place at the Universal Arts Building of La Habana's Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes.

Bachs had a lifelong relationship with the Instituto Cubano de Arte e Industria Cinematografica (ICAIC). He is widely regarded as the most important creator of Cuban film posters. Bach's last poster was for Icograda's June 2001 regional meeting in La Habana.
