—The Hometown Project
What
started as Jean Chisholm and I’s Emily Carr thesis
project turned into an invitation to exhibit The Hometown Project in Prince George at the Two Rivers Gallery in the fall of 2015. Building
off our 4-step campaign system of Awareness, Alignment, Engagement, and Action,
the work also highlighted the history of Prince George's innovative civic
projects. It aimed to inspire people to create projects that could help shape
the city into a sustainable, culturally rich community. We designed custom
exhibit materials for the Two Rivers Gallery, including posters, screenprints,
maps, booklets, and interactive displays.
The
exhibit hosted over 200 people on its opening night. (A record in P.G.'s gallery!)
This is one of those projects you remain proud of, and it has since shown at
the Museum of Vancouver, Inspiring Women Among us events in Prince George, the
Mini Maker Fair in Prince George, and spoke at Type
Brigade in 2016
in Vancouver.
