Last Saturday, March 08, the Carlos Cruz-Diez Museum of Printing and Design (MEDI) in Caracas inaugurated the exhibition “Types-Graphies”, which is assembled with 30 posters from the collection of the National Museums Foundation (FMN) and organized into eight categories: Text, title, screen, experimental, miscellaneous, family, design with Latin American sources and alphabetical and non-alphabetical signs.

The exhibition emerges from a compendium of 50 pieces that were exhibited at the Third Biennial of Latin American Typographies in 2008. For this exhibition, about thirty were selected in order to highlight the categories present in that edition of the Biennial.

In this regard, the curator of the exhibition, María Sequera Escobar, said that she hopes that projects like these can also bring “the Biennial of Latin American Types to our museum spaces, and thus regenerate that conversation from different perspectives to the world.”

The inauguration was attended by the Deputy Minister of Culture for the Image and Space Arts, and president of the National Museums Foundation, Mary Pemjean, who praised the presence of women in the various spheres of art.

“Women are present in art, we want to become more visible every day, and it's good that this exhibition is a space for an encounter with you. Today, especially, when, in addition to congratulating each other, we commemorate that struggle that women have had for decades, but that we continue to have, to advance and achieve so much,” she said.
