The Design + Social Justice Symposium presents an exhibition of Justin Kemerling’s works from the annual poster show hosted by Nebraska Appleseed.
Justin Kemerling facilitates collaborative design projects that are bold, beautiful and move people to action. His work inspires and motivate artists, community-builders, activists, and entrepreneurs from all walks of life. He works with a number of non-profits and start ups on a variety of projects where his role includes, branding, creative direction, web and print design and social media. Justin is a significant Nebraska artist working locally to create an impact and promote social justice.
The events and exhibitions of the Design + Social Justice Symposium will highlight the visual communications, stories and portraits of revolutionary social movements and will examine how graphic design was a tool for organizing. The graphic artifacts that will be exhibited represent the role of art as a revolutionary force and how art and design can communicate about a need for social change. The symposium will examine the role of graphic design in creating messages that promote civil and human rights, preservation of the environment, and advocacy of equal opportunity. The lectures, panel discussions and exhibitions will feature images and printed matter.
