Here—There project
Identity, programming, exhibition design, poster design
Project explores the nature and ways of gathering, while experimenting with formats and visual communication. Divided into three acts:
Act One: cleaning the space and turning it into a grid
Act Two: family gathering
Act Three: community gathering
It touches on the topics of collective knowledge and the importance of its accessibility to the local communities. How do we organize communities in a way that operates as a body, and how do we use industrial spaces as a bridge between knowledge and those who carry the knowledge? Due to alienation in societies, the decentralization of creative communities, and the inaccessibility of real estate to younger generations, there is an urgency in a dialogue between those in power and those in need. In these series of events, I am attempting to visualize the alternative "Third spaces," serving as a middle ground between work and home while building a sense of belonging using Graphic Design as a tool. The body of work builds towards the inception of an event space by experimenting and transforming an industrial warehouse in West Providence, Rhode Island, as an invitation for communities to gather and activate the space. In this work, it is done by organizing conceptual events and performances and inviting various artists.
