The main installation at Design Month Graz 2019 was a gigantic tidal wave of 106 selected posters was rising inside a traditional Austrian courtyard. These graphic works are by female artists only, collected from a contest launched by the Mexican museum MUMEDI and investigating the theme of death with a hint of humor and modern graphic style.

MUMEDI, the Mexican Museum of Design, every two years and for the last 14 years has invited to participate in the International Poster Contest “To Death with a Smile”. The theme of the poster was on the subject of death, be it a personal reflection, the meaning it has in our culture or country, as we fear, celebrate or overcome it.The last call had an amazing participation, generating a huge number of entries, which consisted of over 30,000 proposals from 157 countries.
