Local sign painting in Dominican Republic

Included below are post-it notes found in proximity to the works found on the Miro board put together by Ramon Tejadas and Carlos Avila, “Arte y Diseño LATINX: Comunicación Cotidiana” for the course, Incomplete Latinx Stories of Diseño/Borderland/La Frontera for BIPOC Design History. 

“Artes Graficas are artesanal, local, folk, para el pueblo. Diseño that speak to their community in their own language. Design that brings people together. Creates community. Out of necessity or servicing your community. Murales, posters, Carteles, litografia, imprentas, objetos… Murales en RD. The local is appropriated at time for advertising.”
