designing positive change
18” x 24” two-color silkscreen, perforated and laser cut poster // edition of 50
designed in response to an invitation to participate in “printervention”, an exhibition underscoring the necessity for for the support of artists and the ideas of civic responsibility to the greater society.
this poster focuses on practical, humanizing, and non-judgmental ways we can help our friends without homes. serving as both a poster and a stencil, it allows viewers to spread the message on their own terms.
a collaborative and inclusive process was integral to the project. to that end, content was developed with nick pickrell of cherith brook catholic worker house, whose mission is to show hospitality and practice works of mercy to people without homes in their neighborhood. further, a group was assembled to spread love throughout areas of kansas city where people most come in contact with people without homes. this created a sense of shared purpose and provoked thought on the subject as posters were being hung and stencils made.
