Empowher: Celebrating Women’s Right to Vote virtual exhibit highlights the vital importance of women’s right to vote in the US and the importance of graphic design as social engagement. Each of the twenty-four posters was designed by a senior graphic design student in the Graphic Design Program within the University of Houston’s Kathrine G. McGovern College of the Arts, School of Art. Equal parts assignment and activism, the posters allowed student designers to participate in AIGA National’s Get Out the Vote: Empowering the Women’s Vote campaign as well as the larger national discourse on women’s rights and voting.
The exhibiting designers featured here are: Sara Alwagfi, Ivan Battle, Paloma Bond-Reading, Melissa Chaney, Regan Chen, Jodi-Ann Clarke, Santiago Cubillos, Nicole Dinh, Paris Dowd, Samantha Farley, Jason Funes, Alexandra Hernandez, Garrett Hogue, Yen Le, Stephanie Leal, Jilian McNulty, Hayley Nevot, Mary Nguyen, Samantha Nguyen, Tina Raffoul, Karen Rix, Tiffany Robles, Cheney Shelton, and Josiah Williams.
This online exhibition aims to complement the in-person exhibition, AIGA Get Out the Vote: Empowering the Women’s Vote, currently on display at the museum through November 21.
