ABOUT
Picturing Moral Courage: The Rescuers is a long-running project by PROOF: Media for Social Justice, and has been displayed in multiple languages and countries across the world. The Rescuers at ArtWalk Port Macquarie condensed the exhibition in order for it to be projected onto one of the town's police buildings. From a research perspective, the exhibition design focused on the development of interpretive models within design, and design experimentation was directed towards the typographic representations of people's testimonies.
