The Art of Dugudus by Stephen Lewis
Régis Léger alias Dugudus, born in 1987, is a committed poster designer, illustrator and street artist. After his studies at the Estienne school and the Gobelins school, he left to study in Havana. In 2013, he published his first work on the history of the Cuban poster (Cuba Grafica, Éditions L’Échappée) which will mark his graphic influences.
Dugudus is known for his political and social posters. He got involved in politics at a very young age and decided to put into images the struggles and hopes of those around him. He did not hesitate to move his screen-printing workshop into the street to take part in political and social movements. Today he works for different institutions, associations and social or political organizations. His posters are exhibited in numerous biennials and graphic design festivals.

Lapinville Lives On by Cambia Davis
Lapinville was discovered when Cambia Davis was visiting her brother in the country. While hiking across an abandoned field, she accidentally stepped into a rabbit hole, fell and hit her head so hard she was knocked unconscious. When she awoke, she was astonished to see a rabbit wearing a green visor, labeled EDITOR standing next to her. Cambia had landed in Lapinville, and decided she would tell people about it through etchings and paintings. This exhibit is the result. One side of the gallery shows the original hand-colored etchings and paintings from the 1970s. On the other side, 50 years later, Cambia has revisited and updated some of the changes that have taken place in Lapinville over the years.
