Graphis New Talent Awards 2024, Silver

Sunday’s Best is an exhibition and publication exploring the role of dress as cultural expression during the Civil Rights Movement.

The project examines how fashion functioned as both personal identity and collective resistance — shaping visual culture and contributing to broader narratives within American history.

Through archival research and spatial storytelling, the work reframes “Sunday’s Best” as both an aesthetic and a political gesture.

Exhibition Design

Interactive Installation, Multi-media

The exhibition translates this history into an immersive, interactive environment, combining video, physical artifacts, and spatial sequencing to guide the viewer through the narrative.

Centered on the question of how history is experienced rather than simply displayed, the installation considers entry, progression, and takeaway — structuring the exhibition as a deliberate journey.

By reinterpreting “Sunday’s Best” beyond tradition, the space positions dress as an active participant in cultural and political expression, inviting viewers to engage with the material both visually and emotionally.

Publication Design

The publication translates historical research into a cohesive visual system.

Typography, archival imagery, and color draw from the visual language of the period — including references to African textiles such as Kente cloth — creating a dialogue between heritage, identity, and design.

Together, these elements construct a narrative framework that connects past and present, positioning the work as both documentation and reinterpretation.

The project frames “Sunday’s Best” not just as fashion, but as a tool of resistance and cultural expression.
