What a joy it was to be part of this year’s Birmingham Design Festival Birmingham Design Festival !
With this year’s theme, “Change,” Corita’s work found its way into conversations, workshops, installations, and moments of making throughout the festival. From the oversized Corita-inspired cube welcoming visitors in the lobby to creative workshops that invited people to print, collage, and reflect together in banner-making, it was a beautiful reminder that art can help us imagine new possibilities.
Thank you to everyone at Birmingham Design Festival, especially Luke Tonge and , for including Corita in this year’s program. We’re grateful to have shared the festival with such a thoughtful community of designers, artists, educators, and makers.
