CHARACTERS: Type in Action
Typography has long been a powerful force in the fight for freedom.
From Martin Luther King Jr. to Eva Perón, Stacey Abrams to Harriet Tubman, CHARACTERS: Type in Action delves into the impact of typography on social justice, examining its history and its role in today’s movements. This exhibition showcases typefaces created by Tré Seals, a Black designer from Washington, D.C., and founder of Vocal Type, whose work captures the spirit of these movements. These typefaces remind us that a just and equitable world embraces diverse voices in our daily lives.
Through the stories of these historical figures, CHARACTERS: Type in Action reveals how typography can be wielded as a tool for both oppression and liberation, encouraging us to consider our own role in the ongoing struggle for justice.
