Exhibition Graphics | Objects of Dispute

Objects of Dispute considers this situation of mass disagreement through the focusing lens of objects. It is based on a course taught by Dr. Glenn Adamson in the fall term of 2016 in the History of Design and Curatorial Studies M.A. program– coincidentally, right as the American presidential election occurred. The course examined the role that material culture studies may be able to play in an environment of heated debate and misinformation.

For this project, each curator wrote wall text for one item—mine was the Dream Catcher. Additionally, I designed and arranged printing for all wall panels and assisted with installation.
