Weaving Grievances

This was a group project for Social Issues & Graphic Design which was eye-opening in many ways through researching issues both local and global as well as being exposed to the experiences and perspectives of my classmates. My favorite part, other than feeling like a better global citizen, has been seeing all our voices and ideas coalesce into one thoughtful product. We all bring different experiences and perspectives to bear on these issues so we’ll now move on with a new appreciation. Our small cohort is just one sample of how with creativity and communication we can all learn more about how to make the world a better place. I hope viewers will also take the opportunity to see issues around them differently. Whether it’s buying one less water bottle or adopting a new puppy instead of buying one from a breeder, these are the small things that create ripples through the woven connections of our world.

Thanks to my group mates: Brittany Woodhead, Kristen Zulueta, Morgan McMillian, Lydia Manter, and Alex Edwards for the shared contributions. A special thank you to Professor Mary Ann Casem for inspiration and orchestrating the final deliverables.
