25 Above Water

Hurricane Season has officially started in the U.S. and, as you’d expect, thoughts are turning to the events of last year in the Gulf Coast. Hurricanes Katrina and Rita ripped through Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas causing over 1200 deaths and $100billion in damage (how many of those deaths are attributable to the deplorable response by the American government is unknown).

25 Above Water is an online exhibition and sale of limited edition posters interpreting the devastation in aid of the American Red Cross. Each poster is well worth a look and it’s commendable that the gallery has curated a body of work that uses strong design and a dash of wit rather than fall into the self-pitying, tug-at-your-heartstrings style of work typical of charity exhibitions.
