National Day of Silence - 2005

In this poster, I wanted to express the anger resulting from persecution. Because during this day, friends, allies, and members of the GLBT community take a vow of silence in protest, I felt it was a good idea to show the tension between silence and protest. The man yelling symbolizes the urge to yell and that anger. The austerity of the text serves to balance, and tame, the emotion.

Globalization, Colonization, and Language Endangerment: Perspectives from Africa - 2005

Africa is working towards being a larger factor in the global community, which seems odd since Africa had been colonized by many European nations. This colonization has been a major factor, from the slave trade to genocide to social structures. Globalization means becoming part of the global community and combined with the social effects of colonization, African language face a new hurdle-- to retain their use in an environment that promotes the use of Western languages.

The poster shows Africa as the main subject, with the global community looming behind it. The arrows symbolize movement and mobility both in and out of Africa.
