Underline Studio honours people that were violently attacked while defending the natural environment

In the fourth issue in their series of papers, Toronto-based Underline Studio look at the work being conducted in Latin America to protect the land rights of marginalised people and to preserve rivers and waterways from destruction and contamination. Titled The Cries of Those Who Vanish, the paper honours the strength, courage and conviction of four people that were violently attacked while defending the natural environment.

The paper is divided into four posters that cover the four brutal incidents. Each double-sided poster combines beautifully still photography by Luis Mora with a repetitive typographic exploration that pays homage to the victim.

Proceeds from sales will support the work of the Council of Indigenous Peoples of Honduras (COPINH). COPINH is an organisation made up of 200 indigenous Lenca communities in western Honduras, co-founded by Berta Cáceres in 1993 to defend its communities against projects that damage their environment and way of life.
