Design without Borders

Intergalactix:
against isolation / contra el aislamiento

Brand design

Mission: To create a space for diasporic research and artworks examining the violence generated by physical and conceptual borders and severe immigration policies.

Approach: Inspired by topography, I set out to create shapes that embrace the forms and features of land surfaces and how we interact with and against the earth. With organic textures, I set out to form an imperfect path rendered in a perfect pattern.

Outcome: The organic textures and neutral colors of the branded patterns complemented the mixed medium artwork. The grid, partial and fragmented, reminds us how people have historically claimed land, breaking free to create their own path.

Impact: By reflecting the many forms of resistance built collectively across regions, this project established a platform of exchange and dialogue among artists, poets, activists, curators and writers from different areas and practices.

Creating a logo and in general the visuals of Interglactix, was very important for me. Because it become and iconic statement and it didn't not look like a marketing sales object. The logo was a success, because the design framed the strong statement of the show, without becoming only a visual thing but transmitting the resistance and solidarity.
