Posters for a collective reconciliation
Mauro Rojas participates in the 2008 Shanghai Biennale with POSTERS FOR A COLLECTIVE RECONCILIATION, handmade posters' installation.
TRANSLOCALMOTION is the concept of the 2008 Shanghai Biennale, one of the top international art meetings, in which Mauro Rojas participates with a quite experimental visual artwork, based on field research carried out in midtown Guayaquil, regarding urban graphics on walls.
POSTERS FOR A COLLECTIVE RECONCILIATION is a big format handcrafted posters' installation which is part of the International Students' Exhibition, presenting at the KIC Plaza facilities, in Shanghai, until November.
POSTERS FOR A COLLECTIVE RECONCILIATION has its own visual identity that encompasses the aesthetic concept
This installation integrates 10 posters, handmade on kraft paper, which illustrate issues related to social conflicts pending resolution and that are generally a consequence of migratory movements generated by emotional imbalance.
The concept includes topics such as xenophobia, public expression, politics, environmental pollution, urban contamination, among others.
Each poster has a dimension of 90x130 cm, conceptually integrated as a social campaign to activate a collective call for attention. This message, of course, was highly reinforced by the graphic style and color palette of the work as a whole, as if each poster were a piece of wall obtained from the urban context, where the collective experience is energized.
POSTERS FOR A COLLECTIVE RECONCILIATION became a reality thanks to the cooperation of talented artists and friends Gabo Peña, Carlos Piza, Marcelo Costa and Luis Terán, who participated in the posters' illustration and also collaborated in the research and production assistance.
