As Art Director for the Speak Truth to Power multimedia project, I designed English, Spanish and French translations of the photography book, a children’s education packet containing a workbook and CD, event mailers, environmental signage, and an international travelling photography exhibition.
The Speak Truth to Power project presents heroes from over 36 countries, including Baltasar Garzón, Desmond Tutu, the Dalai Lama, Asma Jahangir, and Wangari Maathai. In searing and uplifting interviews, human rights defender Kerry Kennedy, daughter of Robert F. Kennedy, examines the quality of courage with people who are dramatically changing the course of events in their communities and countries.
