Eduardo Barrera Arambarri is a Mexican graphic designer who currently lives in the Czech Republic and studies at the Faculty of Art and Design of Jan Evangelista Purkyně in Ústí nad Labem. He studied graphic design at the National School of Plastic Arts UNAM in Mexico. He has been running his own studio, designing posters for cultural events and corporate identity, since 2001. He exhibits his artworks all around the world and was awarded at several international graphic design exhibitions, receiving the bronze medal at the International Biennale in Mexico, the bronze medal at the International Triennale in Kharkov, Ukraine, and Grand Prix for the publication Ergo Sum (designed together with Erik Beltran) at the International Biennale in Brno.

Since 2017, he has been working on a new project called The World We Live In that combines original posters and information graphics that he presents as a combination of information from different social surveys and refined graphic design. Eduardo thus strives to promote cooperation between designers and specialists from the fields of natural science and humanities. He points out societal problems that concern all of us in an unconventional way and would like to exhibit the final posters on the street to reach as many people as possible. The entire international project was announced as a competition in two categories: graphic design professionals and graphic design students in Europe, Asia and America. The project takes place in associated art universities. The Faculty of Arts and Design of UNAM in Mexico, the Faculty of Art and Design of Jan Evangelista Purkyně in Ústí nad Labem and the Ladislav Sutnar Faculty of Design and Art of the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen have already organized several workshops.

The current exhibition in the Altán Klamovka Gallery is a selection from the collection created in Mexico. It presents posters of two professional artists and six students from the Faculty of Arts and Design of UNAM in Mexico City (www.fad.unam.mx). The themes of the exhibited posters tackle many different problems, such as sexual violence, water privatization, ocean pollution and ever-increasing violence and aggression in society. The exhibition in the Czech Republic also allows us to become acquainted with contemporary Mexican design.
