P003 → Framing Freedom
This book design project was created in partnership with the Boston Athenaeum to accompany the site-specific exhibition Framing Freedom: The Harriet Hayden Albums. The design explores the power of portraiture and personal archives as tools of activism, particularly through the lens of Harriet Hayden’s abolitionist work. Drawing inspiration from the exhibition’s historical materials and intimate storytelling, the layout combines archival imagery, thoughtful typography, and a restrained color palette to honor both the personal and political dimensions of freedom. The book serves as both a visual narrative and a lasting artifact of the exhibition, inviting readers to consider how freedom is framed—literally and metaphorically—across time.
