DAY OF THE WORLD SOLIDARITY WITH THE CUBAN REVOLUTION (July 26)

Creator: Antonio Fernández Mariño (Ñico)
Commissioned by: OSPAAAL (Organization of Solidarity with the People of Africa, Asia and Latin America)
Date: 1970

Between the 1960s and 1990s, more than fifty designers worked at OSPAAAL. Based in Cuba, they made magazines and posters that were sent around the world. Their aim was to promote radical political ideas. Many of their posters celebrate socialist revolutions and liberation movements from the Global South.

This design promotes 26 July as a day of solidarity with the Cuban Revolution. The revolutionary 26th of July Movement led by Fidel Castro took power in Cuba in 1959.
