This week we [all interns] were assigned a new project. This project is the African American Heritage 2016 poster, for internal purposes at HRA. The theme for next year is Hallowed Grounds. The ladies who asked for this project want there to be some sort of map of all the hallowed grounds around the nation and the tagline is RESPECT. REVERENECE. REMEMBERANCE. Another direction is the underwater sculptures that exist off the coast of Greneda. They were designed by an artist and portray children holding hands in a circle, among other sculptures. I feel this idea is powerful because the sculptures have actually begun growing coral and helping the environment and ecosystem around those shores. I think I’ll head in this direction because its uplifting, poetic, and portrays the importance of love for eachother, love for the environment, and persevering through all odds. It does all of this without dampening the mood and I think that’s important. You don’t want to offend or anger people by doing something that makes them feel angry or disrespected. At the end of the day we all want to be recognized for our best qualities, and acknowledged as human beings, no matter where we are from.
