Day of International Solidarity with the People of Zimbabwe

Day of International Solidarity with the People of Zimbabwe

Third World Liberation

This 1967 poster, by Cuban designer and filmmaker, Alfredo Rostgaard, promotes a Day of International Solidarity with the People of Zimbabwe. The poster was published by OSPAAAL, the Organisation in Solidarity with the People of Africa, Asia and Latin America, the main publisher of international solidarity posters in Cuba. Notably, these colorful propaganda posters were not designed to be posted on walls within Cuba, as others were. Instead, they were folded and stapled inside the magazine, Tri-Continental, where they were then distributed internationally. Rostgaard was the artistic director of OSPAAAL for nine years, beginning in 1966.
