Four Cornish design students have been chosen to have their poster designs included in an international exhibition of original posters created in support of the popular Russian democracy movement. The students created the posters in the class "Design for Social Change," which I teach.
The exhibition is entitled "Russia Rising: Votes for Freedom," and will be exhibited in New York and Moscow this Fall. The exhibition's curators are: Steven Heller, the American graphic design historian, author and art director; Misha Beletsky, a Russian/American graphic designer and book designer, and Dr. Serge Serov, a Russian Art historian, art critic and curator.
This is not a student exhibition, it's an exhibition of posters by graphic designers around the world who support positive social change in Russia.
A number of well-known international designers are included in this poster exhibition, including last year's visiting designer at Cornish, Yossi Lemel. The students are:
Emily Firebaugh, Graphic Design; (voting check-boxes)
Allison Hefely, Interior Design; (ripped photo of Putin)
Derek Vander Griend, Graphic Design, (cartoon with Putin's political party logo-stopped mouth)
and Alexandria Lopestri, Interior Design. (Putin down the drain)
