The KCUR article focused on the exhibition’s concept and included an interview with tyler galloway, 91���� professor and Joyce C. Hall Chair of Graphic Design:

The following is an excerpt:

"The show centers on imagery from Stand Up KC’s anti-racist, working-class advocacy, dominated by the vivid red shirts and blocky white lettering that has come to define public demonstrations for the group since 2011.

The bold designs were created by tyler galloway, a professor and chair of the graphic design department at the 91����.

'I have a love for all things social justice, in terms of my design practice,' galloway said, 'so it was kind of a dream for me to be able to work on those things.'

Normally, items like posters and banners are used for a single day or march, and are often damaged or discarded in the process. Showcased in Charlotte Street’s gallery, though, they help illustrate how design can communicate a lasting record of a movement that might otherwise be ephemeral, galloway said.

'They did a really great job — partly out of economic necessity — because they (Stand Up KC) spent good money to have good quality things made,' galloway said. 'The banners were printed digitally onto canvas and the posters were silk-screened on this nice cardstock, so they wanted to keep all that stuff, and they reused it and reused it.'"
