Seattle, USA
As part of the 8th International Digital Design Exhibit in Havana, Cuba from June 21st - 23rd, 14 designers - 7 from the U.S. and 7 from Cuba will represent their respective design communities with the help of AIGA's Center for Cross Cultural Design and Centro Cultural Pablo de la Torriente Brau. They'll used the language of culture that they know best: visual design, the spoken word, and digital technology to reach across borders using visual communication in order to communicate with diverse audiences.
The designs from each of the 14 artists will be exhibited during the event at the Cuban Institute of Art and Cinema (ICAIC) in Havana, and seen in a 32 page book published exclusively for the event by Centro Cultural Pablo de La Torriente Brau. This project has also been posted on the Web here as well as on the AIGA site.
