Still Standing: The Abyssinian Meeting House Story Archive

I was commissioned to design the exhibition identity and pull-quote posters for The Abyssinian Meeting House Story Archive audio exhibition. For the past three years, students in MECA's Storytelling 101 class have collaborated with The Abyssinian Meeting House with students interviewing African American elders in Maine to create an archive of stories.

The Abyssinian Meeting House functioned as a cultural center and a leading contributor to The Underground Railroad. It was important to recognize the iconic building itself, incorporating its original design in the exhibition identity.
