The poster submitted to the “2nd San Juan Poli/Graphic Triennial: Latin America and the Caribbean” by Santiago Velazco, a graphic design graduate, and Javier Cirioni, a fellow graduate of the same program, was one of six officially selected by the event organizers. The triennial, organized from April 30 to June 7 by the Institute of Puerto Rican Culture, seeks to explore and expand the concept of the polygraphic toward marginal and experimental creative practices in contemporary art and graphic design.
More than a dozen polygraphic platforms were presented from June 2008 through June 2009. The culmination was a large-scale presentation that opened in April 2009, consisting of solo and group exhibitions, magazines, posters, artist books, postcards, wallpaper designs, flyers, and billboards, among other elements.
