Kate Wells is the director of the Siyazama Project in Durban, South Africa. The Siyazama Project enables rural, traditional craftswomen to express their concerns about HIV and AIDS and all of its complexities through their creation of beaded cloth dolls and bead work. The project and its producers communicate and spread awareness on HIV/AIDS through workshops, exhibitions, museum collections and research activities.
I designed a simple poster to advertise Ms. Well's guest lecturer appearance at SVA's MFAD program. The typography was created using thread, while spilled beads act as the main graphic. The simple graphic approach speaks of the creations of the Siyazama Project women, while not attempting to replicate their one-of-a-kind bead work creations. The color choices were made based on traditional colors within the AIDS awareness campaigns.
