Ah Haa School for the Arts presents graphic designer, educator, visual artist, and community organizer Kevin Yuen Kit Lo. Matter vs. Spirit exhibition debuts a video-poem alongside a series of large-format typographic banners drawing from and remixing his extensive body of design work in support of social movements. The works engage with language as a material practice, using letterforms and (typo)graphic elements as visuals, and form both a deeply personal and radically political archive that embodies ongoing struggles for social justice. Kevin Yuen Kit Lo is Assistant Professor of Communication Design and Visual Culture in the Department of Design and Computation Arts Concordia University in Montreal. He works at the intersections of graphic design, cultural production, and social change. His research is invested in exploring the tensions between material and relational studies of design as a means of fostering greater social and political autonomy.
Kevin founded the graphic design studio LOKI in 2014, working alongside community organizations, non-profits, cultural and educational institutions, unions, artists, researchers and activist groups, as part of broader movements for social change. The studio has worked on campaigns to stop racial profiling, created protest graphics for anti-racist and anti-colonial social justice movements, designed advocacy material for sex workers rights, created online platforms for critical journalism and supported the cultural production of marginalized writers and artists through the design of publications, exhibitions, and collaborative works. Kevin holds an MA in Typographic Design from the London College of Printing (UAL). Prior to founding LOKI, he worked in interactive design, advertising and fashion. He is a member of the Memefest network and the Justseeds artist co-operative.
These one-of-a-kind pieces showcase the creativity, ingenuity and style of their designers. Scattered throughout the Silver Jack Building, the TAB 2024 wearable art collection encourages everyone to think outside the frame and find inspiration in alternative art forms. In honor of costume creator Robert Presley, each year the TAB Fashion Show includes a line of regionally-created wearable art that challenges designers to adorn the moving human form in handcrafted artistic expressions that sit at the crossroads of visual art and fashion. Pieces available by donation.
