Refusing Refusal

Refusing Refusal is a day-long multimedia show that explores how marginalized, intersectional, POC artists can disregard existing institutional rules to create spaces tailored to our unique identities.               

The show investigates how we might deformalize art sharing and develop it into a more intimate and communal interaction.

The different ways the golden ratio can be represented acted as the baseline for the logo system. The cut-out element of the system became a way for the user to interact with and understand the product.
