Not Lost was a free 10-week creative writing workshop in Toronto for youth living with grief through the loss of a loved one. The Public worked with mel to design a poster that welcomed youth aged 18-29 who exist within the margins to share a place where participants gather to share, grieve, build, and make.
The Public partnered with SUM° to develop the promotional creative for Restless Precinct, including a postcard, programme and map, and website.
The Day of Action invites girls and young women across the country to organize actions to engage with social justice issues. These actions are as varied and diverse as the young women invited to participate and can range from self-care, to writing or blogging, to zine-making or community organizing.
Clear the Air raises awareness about the the disproportionate rates of smoking in LGBTQ communities, and to get folks to start thinking about how to make these communities healthier by decreasing these trends.
The Public worked closely with the YWCA Canada on a civic engagement campaign for girls 13-29 across Canada. Together, we developed a civic engagement toolkit and social networking site addressing a wide range of issues. The Public worked with Pam Kapoor to research and develop the toolkit, copy and writing, and developed an outreach communications strategy to reach this diverse audience.
We worked with the peer youth leaders at the My MSG program to develop a calendar of affirming messages about themselves and each other. The group learned about composition, typography, image creation, and creating a design brief, culminating in this fifteen-month calendar filled with love.
