The Crafting Ecological and Health Narratives in Public Space presentation illustrates community centric approaches to environmental and health communication design. Through the lenses of publishing, printmaking, branding, public programming, and tactical interventions in public space, José Menéndez’s research examines the design practice as a platform for multicultural communication, access, and visibility at multiple scales.

This presentation will be supplemented with the workshop Making Public, a Letterpress and Risograph workshop where participants will be introduced to methods of community activation through publishing. The workshop will be led by José Menéndez and Fabián Villa, the creative director behind the typographic workshop La Linterna, based in Cali, Colombia. La Linterna is visiting Northeastern University as part of their participation in Graphic Voices of Latin America, a Latin American poster exhibition at The WaterFire Arts Center in Providence, RI. The show will run from February 13th to March 23rd. Menéndez co-curated and designed the show as part of his research project, Grafica Latina.
