Flo Low is a British-Armenian artist, graphic designer, and art educator based in Brooklyn. They use printmaking and textile to explore the figures and landscapes of the past, how they shape us and how we shape them in response to loneliness and alienation. In their practice, they gather found fragments that give us a glimpse into the layered history around us, including city typography, which they have published as the NYC ABCs, and Armenian food history, published as Recipes from a Free Artsakh. Inspired by the children they work with, their ongoing project Bags for Life plays with form and function through designing and making single-purpose (but not single use) bags.
publicationprint editorial designAs a member of queer Armenian collective Hye-Phen, I designed and illustrated a 56-page two color riso-printed zine, Gatherings: a series of five conversations on the theme of solidarity across the SWANA (South West Asian and North African) region.
The project also included promotional Instagram posts, as we needed to pre-sell the zine to fund its printing.
