Casa de las Américas (cover design: Umberto Peña; editor: René Leal), "CONJUNTO No. 7," 1969. Print magazine.

This early issue of CONJUNTO demonstrates the magazine's role as the organ of the Permanent Committee of Festivals of Latin American Theater. The cover, designed by Umberto Peña, employs a powerful tricolor composition using bold horizontal bands of red, yellow, and green-tinted photography. The upper section features promotional material for "Aire Frío" by Virgilio Piñera (directed by Humberto Arenal), one of Cuba's most significant theatrical works, while the lower section highlights "Unos Hombres y Otros" by Jesús Díaz (directed by Liliam Llerena). The design integrates high-contrast portrait photography with stark typographic elements, creating a dynamic poster-like aesthetic that reflects the revolutionary graphic design principles emerging in Cuban cultural publications of the late 1960s.

Issue No. 7 features an international editorial board representing theater professionals from Chile, Ecuador, Venezuela, Brazil, Guatemala, Mexico, Colombia, Peru, and Uruguay, reflecting CONJUNTO's pan-Latin American mission. The contents examine theater in Mexico, Colombia, Uruguay, and Chile, including articles on the dramatist Arnold Wesker's work in Spanish, Vietnamese playwright Bich Lam's contributions, and indigenous theater traditions. This issue exemplifies CONJUNTO's commitment to fostering dialogue among Latin American theater artists and documenting the combative, politically-engaged theater movement gaining momentum across the continent during this period of cultural and political transformation.
