MOVEMENT AND PERMANENCE. FOR THE RIGHT TO MIGRATE
CALLED BY PROGRAMA UNIVERSITARIO DE DERECHOS HUMANOS UNAM and Amnesty International México

The International Poster Biennial in Mexico, in connection with the activities in memory of Vicente Rojo Almazán, joins with category C of the 17BICM, which is called Movement and Permanence. For the Right to Migrate. This category is organized by the Programa Universitario de Derechos Humanos UNAM and Amnesty International Mexico.

Likewise, the name of the award that will be given in this category will be VICENTE ROJO ALMAZÁN, both in diplomas and medals, honoring the memory of the person who opened the possibility of founding the BICM in 1990.

We thank the Rojo Cama Family and, in particular, his son, Vicente Rojo Cama, for allowing us to collaborate in honoring and giving permanence to his father’s work, by suggesting the theme of this category dedicated to his legacy.

  1. Participation is open to professionals dedicated to design, photography, visual arts, communication and related practices, regardless of their nationality, with posters published between MAY 2020 and MAY 2022.
  1. Participants may submit a maximum of FOUR POSTERS or SERIES OF POSTERS for the consideration of the selection committee, including all the categories that correspond to them as professionals in this call for entries.
  1. The techniques of representation are free.
  1. THE FORMAT OF THE POSTER MUST BE 70 X 100 CM.

SUBJECT.

  1. Participants must register unpublished posters on the subject:

Movement and Permanence. For the Right to Migrate. 

The foundations of this category are established in the urgency of raising awareness about a highly contemporary issue, which is migration. Although migration is a human phenomenon as old as our species itself, the truth is that the number of social, political, economic, cultural, climatic and now even health changes have made an already profound phenomenon more complex. In this sense, the poster can be a vehicle to open a dialogue on this phenomenon in order to make visible that migration is a human right. The objective of this category is to communicate, in a precise, sensitive and human way, how migration is a right; why it is important to be aware of the human tragedy that can surround the decision to migrate; why migration has changed the world, not only improving the lives of those who migrate, but also the place that receives them. Issues that we hold strongly in mind can be adequately expressed in the poster.
