Inclusive and Equality through Representation - A Protest Piece
Inclusive and Equality through Representation - A Protest Piece
With typefaces created by BIPOC and women the video is a creation of a typography and motion to display research and an impactful message about the current data of today’s view on equality and inclusion.
After 2020- a combination year of a regrettable 45th president, a pandemic, and national protest to defend black lives and stop police brutality. I noticed like many others, marginalized communities turning against each other. Women against minorities, brown vs black, in a time that has so much hurt- the country needed each other and unity yet we turned against each other for many reasons perhaps lack of education or simply just following the norm and conforming. This idea of a torn apart county by its citizens is the core concept for the video. The overdone status of cis white male in power needs to be dismantled. Colonization led to this belief that straight white male is the only acceptable form and in such a year of rebellion and taking action into the peoples hands it’s time we represent women and identity in everything including design! Cultural and self-identity as well as feminism are the main concepts which then evolved into equality and inclusivity of BIPOC and women. The concept combines anger from the message and data displayed but is truly a protest piece.
The project closely evaluated typefaces. Besides the look but these characteristics that are tied to them. All of the typefaces used are made from BIPOC and women to help contribute to representation. Remaining within black and white is a reflection of how people view the world and the only color represented is in skin tones on the words oppressed people. This piece will continue to be in progress however please watch a few times and pause as needed.
