Description

The exhibition design opens outside the gallery with two oversized protest-sign forms and a custom typeface evoking 1960s civil-rights protest-sign lettering, then follows the development of Black Panther Party branding through six chronological sections inside. Fabrication credited to Poster House's in-house team (Rob Leonardi) rather than an outside fabrication firm.
