Pass The Plate

The Black Feminist DC Network Map exhibit connects the individual stories of 25 historic activists throughout the DC area and shows how each participated in key political and social movements of their time.

The transatlantic slave map and movement of people from Africa to America was explored through Pepper Pot, a meal similar to gumbo filled with ingredients cultivated in gardens of enslaved Africans.

Inspired by the remarkable quilt at the center of the exhibit, Blue Telescope brought in a bold color palette, highlighting the vibrant subject matter and providing intuitive wayfinding.
