Story, Word, Sound, Sway
Interrogating systems of oppression and interrupting the status quo.
Story, Word, Sound, Sway is an exhibition of work by eleven Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design Alumni using performance, movement, text, sound, and design to interrogate systems of oppression and interrupt the status quo. It explores themes of alternative histories, archives, Black identity, collective memory, storytelling; meshing performance and performativity, and the interplay of the oral and aural in one’s experience of the
world. The exhibition was accompanied by a publication that includes interviews with each of the alumni artists and their works.
I was tasked with designing the entire publication including a logo and treatment to accompany further marketing materials.
