The David Wojnarowicz Foundation: Advancing the legacy of an activist artist
The David Wojnarowicz Foundation\u2019s mission is to preserve, advance and honor the legacy of David Wojnarowicz\u2014his life, art, writing, and fierce commitment to social justice.
Our extensive Ideation phase resulted in a comprehensive compilation of documentation around the artist\u2019s life and work. In collaboration with Wojnarowicz\u2019s estate, gallery, museums, universities, and other artists\u2019 trusts world-wide, we have compiled a virtual archive of audio, video, and photographic materials (some rarely seen by the public).
Working with creative director, Jean Foos (who worked with David to create his \u2018One Day This Kid\u2019 piece), we created a new brand identity incorporating David\u2019s first trademark, the burning house. We designed and engineered a responsive website designed to mirror David\u2019s color, typographic and graphic inclinations. Researched and compiling an electronic mailing list and quarterly e-newsletter.
Our extensive research and content development feeds into our social media strategy targeting a new generation of advocates for David\u2019s work via Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and Threads. Of late, our strategy involves sharing archival materials such as film reels, a timeline of David\u2019s life, details of paintings, and more.
