Insider/Outsider: The Anatomy of Identity Poster Project

#Maker Hub

Students chose words and quotes from our course readings and guest lecturers that resonated with their own identities and personal experiences. The students used a variety of creative processes such as experimental printmaking, linocut, collage, digital media, stencils, paint, and other maker hub processes. The posters are very powerful and their creation required a deep level of trust and vulnerability to express their identities in visual form.
