I designed the Britten-Pears Foundation's 2017 exhibition 'Queer Talk: Homosexuality in Britten's Britain', marking the 50th anniversary of the partial decriminalisation of homosexuality.
A large timeline and logo was created by a freelance graphic designer and I was tasked to design the panels, a large display of photographs and letters and a 'hut' exhibiting newspaper articles and headlines from the 1950s and 1960s, inspired by their design.
I used colours used for the logo and vertical stips of colours for the panels. I played with the greetings in Britten and Pears' letters and played with the size and positioning against a wall of images and extracts of their correspondence.
I also created two films for the exhibition highlighting the 1957 Wolfenden Report and Britten's music with analysis from the international tenor, John Mark Ainsley.
