Washington is one of the many PechaKucha cities that will be joining in on the “PechaKucha for Haiti” reconstruction efforts, and here’s a look at the poster created for the event, the first example of a city using the Studio Number One-designed logo. The event will take place at the Embassy of Austria on February 19, from 19:30, and it has been confirmed that one of the speakers will be the wife of the Ambassador of Haiti, Lola Poisson-Joseph — the Ambassador will be out of town on the evening of the event, and so could not participate himself.

El trabajo de la ilustradora y diseñadora Gráfica egresada de la Universidad Nacional Lorena Alvarez, refleja un absoluto deleite por el color, por la riqueza de los materiales y un deseo permanente de experimentar con distintas técnicas y enfoques conceptuales.

Ha colaborado para publicaciones independientes, libros infantiles y publicidad, y es ilustradora permanente para la Revista TU. Al mismo tiempo, Lorena trabaja en sus proyectos personales, que incluyen art toys y diseños para camisetas y accesorios. Forma parte de La Procesión, un proyecto escénico interdisciplinario que utiliza marionetas y otros objetos en sus presentaciones, y tendremos el gusto de ver su trabajo este sábado 20 de febrero en la Pechatón Global por Haiti. Bienvenida Lorena!
