This poster commemorates the 1989 international symposium on the philosophy of Eugenio María de Hostos, one of Puerto Rico’s most influential intellectuals. Hostos—educator, abolitionist, and advocate for Antillean unity—was pivotal in shaping modern concepts of citizenship, education, and human rights in the Caribbean. His legacy extends beyond Puerto Rico, notably influencing educational reform in the Dominican Republic and Chile.
Lorenzo Homar’s portrait honors Hostos with subdued earth tones and academic solemnity. Rather than relying on decorative graphics, Homar chooses a timeless, almost classical approach, highlighting Hostos’s moral authority and profound intellectual stature. The result is a poster that reinforces Hostos not only as a historical figure but as a philosophical compass for contemporary Puerto Rican identity.
