Kolectivo San Jacinto: Face. Deface.
Entrant: Underline Studio; Category: Editorial Design

“Since 2015, we have designed, edited and produced five newspapers that deal with issues related to Latin American politics,” says Underline Studio. “The fifth in the series focuses on dictators of the Americas. This edition allows you to make your own versions of a dictator by adding stickers to faces marked by death and evil – or keep it as is if you’re into celebrating thousands of deaths and injustice.
“The dictators featured are Jorge Videla, Augusto Pinochet, Nayib Bukele and Daniel Ortega. Proceeds from the sale of this paper support the work of Kolectivo San Jacinto [an alternative media group that produces mixed-media projects to raise awareness of social issues in El Salvador]. Our hope is that the reader will reflect on what dictators have meant and continue to mean to the history of this continent, and perhaps offer a way to release some of those feelings through humour. An invitation to think, create and laugh together.”
