SUMMARY:(re)Framing Protest (Now): Design + Hope
DESCRIPTION:(re)Framing Protest (NOW) Design + Hope expands on the powerful 2022 show with new programming and a beautifully produced printed catalog. Developed in partnership with Richmond Free Press photojournalists Regina H. Boone and Sandra Sellars\, the exhibition shows how creative expression and design fueled the work of activists\, artists\, and organizers who mobilized during the summer of 2020 to collectively support and amplify the Black Lives Matter movement. Graffiti\, graphic design\, and spontaneous public art became both tools of resistance and acts of reflection—capturing the pain of a city while offering hope and healing. \nThe (re)Framing Protest (NOW): Design + Hope catalog\, designed by April Coleman\, Vice President of Production at the Richmond Free Press\, features expanded text from the original exhibition by writer and creative strategist Nichole Christian\, deepening the exhibition’s impact\, continued relevance\, and narrative. \n  \n
