Description
Imagine the visual power of a giant peace dove holding a multi-hued flower in its beak-- emphasizing the unity of hope between Cuba, Mexico, Central and South America! This poster is yet another example of stunning graphics produced for 11th World Festival of Youth and Students held in Cuba in 1978.
This unframed 14" x 22" off-set lithograph captures the optimism of solidarity with elegant clarity. No matter where it is placed the viewer will feel hopeful--so if you wish to win it, you know what to do!
The festival is an international event sponsored in part by the World Federation of Democratic Youth, (WFDY) a left-wing youth organization that has NGO status through the U.N. The first Festival took place in 1947 in Prague. Most recently,the 18th World Festival was held in Quito, Ecuador in December of 2013.
