Small talk – Christopher Scott
What was your motivation to organise the Ecuador Poster Bienal?
A
t the moment Ecuador is not a very strong country for design. In the mindsets of the people in Ecuador is that design is something that is not very important; It is not like New York or London where those cities understand the importance and the necessity for design. So basically the Ecuador Poster Bienal was created so that people can understand why design and arts are essential for this country. Another reason was because here in Ecuador there is so much talent and creativity, especially young designers but they do not get that platform where they can show work and what they can do. Yes this bienal is going to be a big international event but it is really made for Ecuadorians. It is also for non-designers so they can understand the power and influence design to improve Ecuador.
