FOLLOW THE NORTH STAR: FREEDOM IN THE AGE OF MOBILITY
Visual identity and exhibition

Throughout African American history, the destination of ‘freedom’ has proven to be an elusive location. The search for this ‘promised land’ has taken many forms, including travel, migration, and even imagination. The International African American Museum’s (IAAM) special exhibition, “Follow the North Star: Freedom in the Age of Mobility,” explores this multifaceted journey while inviting visitors to learn about historic events related to African Americans’ search for freedom. The exhibition was curated by James Bartlett.
