05 Let Our Songs Speak For Us

Let Our Songs Speak For Us was an exhibition celebrating 50 years of the Centre of Aboriginal Studies in Music (CASM). 

Based at the University of Adelaide, CASM is the only dedicated university centre for Australian Indigenous music, and a vital site of musical training, community empowerment, and cultural impact.

I designed a custom typeface for the exhibition’s visual identity, drawing on the staunch activist spirit that founded CASM. The hand-cut lettering references the posters, banners, and protest materials created by Indigenous activists in the 1970s, the era of CASM’s inception.

I worked on this project as a designer for Cause/Affect Studio.
