The New England Triennial 2022 celebrated contemporary art across the Northeast, presented across two venues. I designed the exhibition identity, including graphics and catalogue, inspired by Earthseed, the belief system from Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler. The typography and visual identity translated Butler’s philosophy into form, using custom overlapping type to reflect change as a constant, reinforcing the Triennial’s themes of transformation, adaptation, and resilience.
