Atlas2018 (Amsterdam, Netherlands)
‘I will speak, I will speak!’

2018
Exhibition architecture, website and promotional materials

The exhibition ‘I will speak, I will speak!’ told the remarkable stories of many different people from all five continents, all of whom are living with HIV. Visitors were touched and impressed by the stories they encountered there in the professional multi-media presentation.

Atlas2018 asked us to design the exhibition architecture for this unique event, along with promotional materials such as a leaflet, a poster and the website. In the spacious, museum-like setting of Amsterdam’s Beurs van Berlage we created a circular exhibition form that naturally drew visitors into the central area, which functioned as a meeting place. Films were projected on full-height screens surrounding the centre area, and display walls around the edges contained text and images that supported the various stories. Volunteers guided the visitors through the exhibition, listening to the visitors’ own stories as they went along.
