Workshop at Victoria & Albert Museum in London — 2022

We have continued to collaborate to create new signs in response to the themes of new exhibitions. For the Digital Design Weekend at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London in 2022, we researched the ancient climate of the site, creating a new sign to evoke the river that once flowed where the museum now stands. Time Rivers Under Us.
We also created a series of blank sign templates on paper. Over the course of the weekend members of the public pro-posed hundreds of new signs.
