Exhibition Ticket - CHARACTERS: Type in Action

Description

Typography has long been a powerful force in the fight for freedom. 

 

From Martin Luther King Jr. to Eva Perón, Stacey Abrams to Harriet Tubman, Characters: Type in Action delves into the impact of typography on social justice, examining its history and its role in today’s movements. This exhibition showcases typefaces created by Tré Seals, a Black designer from Washington, D.C., and founder of Vocal Type, whose work captures the spirit of these movements. These typefaces remind us that a just and equitable world embraces diverse voices in our daily lives.

 

Through the stories of these historical figures, Characters: Type in Action reveals how typography can be wielded as a tool for both oppression and liberation, encouraging us to consider our own role in the ongoing struggle for justice. 

 

MODA is open from Wednesday to Sunday from 12 pm to 7 pm. Tickets are available for purchase up to an hour before closing. Certain events may affect these opening and closing times.
