I designed the exhibition identity for Natchiq | Onkeehq | Isuwiq : Indigenous Artists Honor the Seal at the RISD Museum, developing the title lockup and extending it into a full visual system across the exhibition's touch-points. The show, organized by guest curators Nadia Jackinsky-Sethi (Alutiiq), Erin Ggaadimits Ivalu Gingrich (Inupiaq), and Elizabeth James-Perry (Wampanoag), traces the deep, ongoing relationships Indigenous seafaring peoples hold with seals, bringing together Inuit prints, drawings, and carvings alongside contemporary textiles, photographs, and installations by Alaska Native and Inuit artists.
Designing the identity meant working closely with the curators, exhibition designers, and the copywriter at the RISD Museum to make sure the system honored the specificity and weight of the exhibition's subject, while remaining flexible enough to carry across signage, print, and digital applications.
