‘We are all migrants’: Posters highlight human stories
Rose Costello of the Irish Times reports on an effort to draw attention to the many human stories behind migration. The Mexican human rights organisation Escucha mi Voz (Hear my Voice) held an international poster contest on the theme “We are all Migrants/Todos somos Migrantes”.
The competition received more than 1,000 entries from designers on five continents. Of those, 50 posters from 48 countries have been chosen to be part of an exhibition now touring the Europe, starting with Dublin.
The Mexican Embassy in Ireland and the Mexican Agency for International Development Cooperation are promoting the project, sponsored since its inception by the Dirección Cultural de Zapopan in Jalisco, Mexico, and supported by the Consulate General of the United States in Guadalajara.
The exhibition runs at the Embassy of Mexico, 19 Raglan Road in Ballsbridge, Dublin 4, from Wednesday April 12th to May 12th (with the exception of April 14th to 17th). It is open from 10am to 1pm and 3pm to 5pm, Monday to Friday.
