The Power of Stories

The Power of Stories celebrates the work of one of Britain’s most pioneering and influential authors, Malorie Blackman. The exhibition shows storytelling in a tactile form, diving deep into topics such as social division, power imbalance, and oppression, which are foundations for many of Blackman’s novels.

The headline typeface used in the exhibition is called Martin by Vocal Type and is derived from placards used in the Memphis Sanitation Strike of 1968. The commanding font is cut from acrylic and mounted on rails announcing each of the four sections of the exhibition.
