Fragments of Epic Memory

Print Design
Editorial Design

A companion book for a major exhibition of historical and contemporary art from the Caribbean and its diaspora. The exhibition adopts a non-linear approach, and this carries through to the book’s interior, which has a subtle, almost imperceptible structure that intersperses essays, poems and narratives among reproductions of the artworks.

A die-cut slipcover integrates the striking cartographic silhouette of the Caribbean islands with the title typography; some letters are cut out to reveal portions of artworks underneath, while the others are spot varnished with a high sheen.

The exhibition adopts a non-linear approach, and this carries through to the book’s interior, which has a subtle, almost imperceptible structure that intersperses essays, poems and narratives among reproductions of the artworks. An eclectic mix of typefaces are used to reflect the span of eras and different types of artistic expressions featured in the book.
