Denver had a landmark year in the struggle for social justice and civil rights in 1973. Simultaneously, the University of Denver was resonant with voices for change. This exhibit featured two collages. One consists of the event of Denver that year, and one shows pictures from the DU Clarion. Nationally and internationally recognized figureheads of social justice movements and organizations visited DU in 1973 to give guest lectures, hold rallies, and perform.
For this exhibition, I researched artifacts from Special Collections & Archives and Denver Public Library’s digital collections. I wrote the text, designed the graphics, developed the interactive component, and installed the panels.
