Where Is Africa?

Where Is Africa? Poster—Gold on Black
Where Is Africa? Poster—Gold on Cream

A series of posters I designed with Elaine Lopez for the exhibition Where Is Africa? curated by Anita Bateman and Emanuel Admasu. The year-long project culminated in a show, publication, and panel discussion with three of the featured artists and curators from across the African Diaspora that participated in the project. The poster series was printed on RISO in gold metallic ink on a variety of different colored papers. For the posters, we wanted to put first the visual imagery being created out of the African Diaspora. Distribution of the posters occurred sequentially over a period of time, starting with a teaser poster with a question mark asking the RISD community “Where Is Africa?” and ending with a poster containing details about the panel discussion.
