Boston, MA, 2020
Curated by Jerome Harris
Exhibition photography: Tony Luong
I organized, art directed, and designed the exhibition design in collaboration with BU SVA Graphic Design students Ashlie Dawkins, Geo Ferrari, Jay Li, and Angela Lian. Curated by Jerome Harris. As, Not For aims to promote the inclusion of neglected Black designers and their developed methodologies and challenge the ubiquity of White and anti-Black aesthetics in our designed world. These practitioners are absent in too many classroom lectures, and their methods mostly invisible or uncredited in the field .
