Flexibility as Agency: Using the concept of “small pieces, loosely joined” in the design classroom
This poster was accepted to the peer-reviewed, international traveling exhibition I Profess: The Graphic Design Manifesto. The website describes the exhibition:
“The premise of the first I Profess exhibit organized by Chris Corneal and Maya Drozdz was based on a need to make explicit the beliefs that (often implicitly) permeate the myriad aspects of our teaching practice. We based a new call for entries on the premise that the porous boundaries of our teaching practices put us in constant dialogue with other cultural, philosophical, and disciplinary beliefs and practices. To that end, we solicited current college graphic design instructors to submit posters in response to the theme for peer-review.
The exhibit showcases various viewpoints and pedagogical and ideological priorities and aim to inspire and be starting points for cross-cultural dialogue among students, faculty, graphic designers, and other expert communities. With this exhibit, the curators aim to encourage cross/disciplinary debate and to provoke the next generation of graphic designers to actively shape the future of our profession.”
The exhibition has traveled to eleven venues in the U.S. and U.K., and continues to be exhibited. The curation team has also published a catalog. You can find more information at the website: https://www.audreygbennett.com/baohouse/i-profess
My final poster features original writing and photography, and is 36 inches square.
