Intervention
This assignment called students to make a design project with guerilla marketing tactics. I designed tea bags in Photoshop and placed them in the dining hall to spark discourse on the importance of democracy and how it is threatened in modern day America. I did so with a satirical campaign for “Brenter” to re-enter the British Empire and playing on the motif of tea within the Revolutionary War.
Fashion
The fashion project called us to subvert a commonly held belief or law, and empower the wearer of the design. My work, “At the Hands of a False God,” comments on the manipulation of White Christian nationalism which has bleed into the law, disregarding the foundations of the government to push exclusionary and tyrannical policies to justify hatred.
UnCommercial
For this project, students were tasked with creating a short satrical video. My group and I made “Hunting Men,” which plays on gender performance through a nature mockumentary.
