for All Nations | Iran

Thanks in advance for holding the Reggae Festival.
Reggae’s music represents the sound of life, love, joy, tears, and blood. It’s not just about the voice of one particular nation or group, but the voice of all humans. In my poster entitled “Reggae for all nations’’, using the festival symbol that is a lion, and inspired by ancient Iranian winged lion I tried to draw the poster. The winged lion symbolizes courage and power and protects humans from evil, lies, and magic. In my work inspired by the rhythm of Reggae’s music, I drew this abstract design that is flowing and soulful just like Reggae. I believe Reggae music has the potential to bridge across nations and bring them closer together

Anything to declare | Italy

I love the music and above all the history and the stories behind every kind of music. The mento music is a style of Jamaican folk music that predates and has greatly influenced ska and reggae music. In my research I got hit the pictures of colorful instruments and I tried to draw this instrument, the rumba box, only luggage declared by this girl, reminding in these times where it could be always possible to travel and to take a piece of own cultural heritage without barriers, suspicions and marginalization. In this direction the message from Jamaica and its musical heritage through reggae is and has always been colorful claiming of peace and fight.
