This poster was produced for the VII Jornada de la Sociedad Puertorriqueña de Filosofía (7th Philosophy Conference) held at the University of Puerto Rico in Mayagüez in 1988. Luis Alonso’s graphic language combines intellectual abstraction with social representation: the clustered silhouettes symbolize collective discourse, while the geometric arch references classical philosophical structures and portals of inquiry.
In the late 80s, Puerto Rico was experiencing a surge in academic conferences that emphasized Latin American thought as a counterbalance to U.S.-centric narratives in the humanities. Alonso’s poster reflects this intellectual renaissance through its dynamic color fields and movement-driven composition. The work embodies a moment in which Puerto Rican academia sought to assert philosophical perspectives rooted in the Caribbean and Latin America.
