Silent Streets Exhibition
“From the moment the Coronavirus pandemic forced people into their homes, art became a source of solace. When attention swerved from COVID-19 to a reckoning with the country’s injustices and systemic racism, many artists folded this urgent consideration into their work. Silent Streets: Art in the Time of Pandemic is an exhibition presented by The Mint Museum of Art. The show displays works of art by local, regional, national and international artists who used art to survey and tackle the challenging times.”
The graphic treatment was conceptualized via the visualization of a years worth of dates calendarized vertically. The numbers were then offset to create the sound wave of time. The sound wave functions as a juxtaposition to the word “silent” in the show title that represents the loud internal noise that often comes with the external silence of isolation.
Silent Streets is on view at the museum from April 17, 2021 - November 2021

The silver linings project was a collaboration with the Levine Museum of the New South. A questionnaire was sent out to the Charlotte community to discover their silver linings of the previous year that had been challenging for so many.
