exhibition identity, didactics, and marketing campaign
Art Institute of Chicago
2025
In order to showcase the incredible breadth of Catlett’s work, as well as the large number of objects and bi-lingual didactics, I developed a simple exhibition identity that woked in the least amount of space. The tabbed gesture reflected inspiration from pubications and was used thoughout the galleries and city-wide marketing campaign.
About the show:
Bringing together over 100 works from across Catlett’s awe-inspiring career, this long-overdue retrospective showcases the significant role this revolutionary artist and radical activist played in her time and the influence she still has today. Her powerful work continues to speak directly to all those united in the fight against poverty, racism, and imperialism.
