The Seattle Poster Shows

For ten years I organized a series of poster exhibitions, primarily for Bumbershoot, Seattle’s biggest music and arts festival, culminating in The Seattle-Havana-Tehran Poster Show (aka “The SHT Show”). As part of this self-initiated, city-to-city, exchange project I travelled to each location and partnered with designers and curators to visually pair the best of poster design from each city. Ultimately I installed ten exhibitions for thousands of attendees, gave talks at universities from Beirut to Boise, and made the most incredible friends around the world.
