MythMedia Studios
MythMedia Studios is an art and design studio that employs myth, media and liberation technologies to address existential concerns through creative resistance and design strategies. We apply information and imagination frameworks to the production of small scale multimedia projects, direct action tools, educational resources and original content. As a collaborator with MythMedia, I work with the Director of Design, Dr. Li Sumpter, to create their branding imagery, including their website, promotional materials, zines, and art installations.
Parable of Coronas
Parable of Coronas was a recent zine and event with the African American Museum in Philadelphia. Using artist interviews, it looked through the eyes of musicians, writers, and visual artists at the quickly changing world of 2020.
“Cozy Catastrophe” Tarot Cards
These “tarot cards” are a part of the Cozy Catastrophe project. Using game play and storytelling, Cozy Catastrophe invites viewers/players to think about the root of the word “apocalypse,” which signifies rebirth and renewal.
Website
This website goes over the information for the dozens of events, projects, and collaborations that Li Sumpter and MythMedia are a part of. Each project has their own page, and the website can be modified to reflect the most recent news, events, and upcoming projects.
The Escape Artist Mixtape: vol iii / boom4real
This zine by Dr. Li Sumpter explores questions on how we see ourselves as resistant, ready, resilient, and reborn survivors in wild unpredictability of the future. Michel Basquiat asked what you’d do if things go “boom for real.” The zine is a part of the Escape Artist Initiative, a project of the Culture Trust of Greater Philadelphia.
Postcards
These postcards were promotional materials that were distributed during the 2019 BlackStar Film Festival, and go over the most recent and upcoming projects while directing those who are interested to the new website.
