Visualising Inter/Species

Memefest has been commissioned to design the official poster for Festival de la Imagen in Manizales Colombia. It is the 20th anniversary of the festival with which Memefest has a long standing and close relation. The topic of the festival is Inter/Species and the poster depicts managerial, bureaucratic, rationalist design language as manifested in everyday forms (charts, Xls sheets etc). This language is brought into relation with non spectacular photographic scenes from Australian nature, including sugar cane plantations (with their colonial history), one of the oldest and most toxic rain forest (Daintree forest) and the sea at the Melbourne metropolis.

Memefest's Kevin Lo (also lokidesign.net) and Oliver Vodeb have been honored to design the poster for our Colombian friends and perhaps the largest and most important Design festival in Latino America.

We would also like to express our solidarity with the people of Colombia and the social movements currently protesting against the violent government austerity measures.
