Art direction, posters, and social media for 2025’s Pride Health Fair, themed “Science, Activism, Survival: Fully Funded + Fully Protected.” In collaboration with ACT UP NY and TAG.
Organized with Ivy Kwan Arce and Jake Toblan.

Reflecting present day issues and needs, the fair was thematically framed this year on grassroots community-oriented efforts to empower people with tools for survival against increased systemic harm and corporatization.
Plastic wrap is used not only as a visual metaphor for corporate presence at Pride, but also as a method of preservation.
Upon entry, visitors received punch cards that could marked when engaging with each partnering organization booth at the fair. A completed card could be traded in for a prize.
