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.
Branding and posters for a new trans-centered club night in Brighton, UK brandingposter
I developed the brand identity for a new trans-centered club night, Transome, the proceeds of which fundraise for gender-affirming surgeries for trans people. My hand lettering was inspired by the cursive neon signs of gay venues of London of the 80s and 90s, and the cloud imagery conveys dreaminess, utopia-dreaming, horizon-looking. Inspired by the famous SOPHIE portrait, and by José Esteban Muñoz: “Queerness is not yet here. Queerness is an ideality. Put another way, we are not yet queer, but we can feel it as the warm illumination of a horizon imbued with potentiality”. I then used this brand identity to develop a logo and digital and print assets to promote the night.
I designed promotional materials for each of the two nights that Transome has so far hosted. £700 was raised at the first night and £750 was raised at the second.
