Two—Spirit
POSTER DESIGN
Two-Spirit (Dos Espíritus) is a short film documentary directed by Mónica Taboada-Tapia and produced by Beto Rosero, together with Guerrero Films, a Colombian film production company with special focus on avant-garde content that explores new points of view, accompanied by social impact campaigns.
The project officially started in 2017, when Monica and her team recorded a small teaser that participated in The New York Times Op-Docs, in collaboration with the Pulitzer Center, where non-fiction documentaries made by indie filmmakers are awarded. Beto and Mónica commissioned me to create the poster for the documentary in 2021, one year before its official release at International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam (IDFA).

Two-Spirit explores the intersection of transphobia with problems like sexism and poverty in Georgina’s community of about a hundred and fifty Wayuu people. Even Georgina’s ability to draw scarce potable water from a nearby spout is controlled by people prejudiced against her—which, like her other troubles, is a ripple caused by a larger force.
