The 16th edition of the International Poster Biennial will be dedicated to biodiversity and will receive entries until May 15th
The International Poster Biennial will use art to draw attention to environmental issues. Over the past three decades, some 70,000 posters from five continents have been submitted for the exhibition, which takes place in Mexico City. Artists from around the world participate in the event annually, using their tools and creativity to describe the challenges facing the planet.
Polish artist Maja Zurawiecka used an image of a severed human hand to portray the threats to the native Białowieża Forest, which straddles the border between Poland and Belarus. “The message of my poster was simple: we are nothing without nature. When you cut down a tree, it is as if you are cutting off your own hand. You are taking away a piece of our life on this planet,” said Zurawiecka, who won first place in the 14th edition of the competition.
