“Stories We Should Tell” highlights the work and voices of designers, storytellers, educators, and creators who shed light on issues affecting the African continent and emphasize the beauty often overlooked.
The selected pieces in this exhibition explore the themes of space, body, and spirituality across mediums in the work of 11 artists representing 7 African countries.
*This exhibition and related events were inspired by the lack of African representation in the student body, design discourse in my classes and pedagogy at the GSD.
