Student projects to support Black History Month
Jonny Hannah, Lecturer in Illustration, devised a series of projects for Level 4 illustration and graphics students to engage, understand, and celebrate subjects relating to Black Lives Matter and Black History Month. Final outputs from the projects will be available as an online exhibition and one poster will be made into a limited-edition screen print which will be sold.
The posters will celebrate black British women and the students will explore and harness their skills as entrepreneurs as they consider how these prints should be marketed and sold. All proceeds from the sales will be donated to Black History Month South and ring-fenced to initiatives relating to black women.
