Finding Refuge in Buffalo

Graphic / Editorial Design

Finding Refuge in Buffalo is a celebration of Buffalo’s history as an immigration and refugee hub. The exhibition is a photo and essay collection by University at Buffalo’s Director of Journalism, Jody K. Biehl, and internationally recognized photographer Brendan Bannon that touches on questions of home, belonging, culture, and what it means to be American. The project features 24 portraits and profiles of people from 13 different countries and stories that span multiple generations. From Italian, Polish and Irish Immigrants in the 1900s to Burmese, Bhutanese and Congolese today, the exhibit looks at how immigration continues to reshape our city. It makes a national issue local, personal.

I was charged for designing all graphic content related to the exhibition including, posters, post cards, social media banners, and publications.
