AssemblyTV Guide
2021Schedule and event guide for AssemblyTV: which appeared in 2021 as a week-long version of the Portland State Art and Social Practice program’s annual social practice conference called Assembly. The layouts were inspired by old TV Guides and sharpie zines. In a time of constant pandemic exhaustion, this printed and digital guide was an attempt to feel more connected by using the things we already had available, combined with levity and a quick+dirty aesthetic.
