The Cincinnati Art Museum hosted a traveling exhibition of Kara Walker’s work. Working with both a site curator and guest curator, we developed a striking and bold brand to balance the messages delivered through Walker’s artwork. Because the artwork used high contrast methods, we also could use those means to deliver experiential and didactic messaging.

A particular feature, the guest curator and poet Ciona Rouse, wrote three pieces reflecting on Walker’s work. It was designed to hold space the same as one of Walker’s work and encourage the visitor to take time to reflect on the message around them.
