An exhibition identity that pays homage to the two vastly different climates it represents.

Arctic/Amazon: Networks of Global Indigeneity was an exhibition curated for Toronto Contemporary Art Gallery – The Power Plant. It was born from the networks and knowledge cultivated at a 2019 symposium of the same name. Whitman Emorson was tasked with the design of the exhibition’s layout and identity. The identity design for The Power Plant exhibition had to echo, yet contrast the design of the exhibition’s book. I used type and colour to create a polarity between the cold and warm climates represented in the exhibition.

 Outcome I altered the way we used the typeface for the exhibition to accentuate the two climates. I found the joints of the thin weight made it look like melting letters made of ice, where the fatter weight had round joins, which felt more equatorial. The exhibition design was utilised not only for its original location at The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery in Toronto, but for its second home in the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia as well.
