The Immigration Experience / Posters Without Borders

From their website:

Posters Without Borders began in 2013 as an international invitational poster exhibition on the subject of immigration organized by Erin Wright, Professor of Art at the University of Alabama at Birmingham; Antonio Castro, Associate Professor of Art at the University of Texas at El Paso and Eric Boelts of Brain Bolts Design in Boulder Colorado. The exhibition first showed at the Space One Eleven gallery in Birmingham, Alabama. It has since shown at the Rubin Center for the Visual Arts at UTEP and was one of the featured exhibitions at the Congreso Mundial de Diseño as part of the 13th Bienal del Cartel en Mexico, one of the top 5 posters exhibitions in the world. It has also been on exhibit at the University of North Carolina-Charlotte, Gulf Coast College in Pensacola, Florida and Montana State University.

I was invited to create a poster on the theme of “immigration.” My concept— trying to fit a square peg into a round hole—visually suggests an immigrant's difficulty in trying to fit into a new environment/culture.
