Festival for the People

/ Visual Identity / Graphic Design / Publication Design / Ad/Marketing Design /

Festival for the People featured three weekends of dynamic participatory programs and events, sculptures, installations, and videos. The festival celebrated rich subcultural forms of making, while also offering a fun and critical perspective on populism.

In addition to a range of works and installations throughout the duration of the festival, each weekend had additional programming tied to a thematic focus, celebrating popular analog, digital, and embodied cultures with fairs, talks, installations, screenings, and other programming, created in collaboration with arts and community groups from across Philadelphia and beyond.
