“Through a city, university and community collaboration, two massive ground murals proclaiming ‘Abolish White Supremacy’ and ‘All Black Lives Matter’ were painted in downtown Newark in solidarity with Black Lives Matter and the global call for racial and LGBTQ+ justice. Inspired by the ‘I Am a Man’ signs of Memphis sanitation workers striking for equality in 1968, the typography lives 25 feet high. The implementation articulated a collaborative drafting system with social distancing considerations in preparation for the community painting.” Typeface: Martin.
