DESIGN IN THE COMMUNITY
Tsunami of Support
Canary Collective and Unfold Media got together after the deadly tsunami and the devastating after-effects that shook Japan and put together an amazing poster show, Tsunami of Support that opened in May to a great reception. You may have even seen them go up for sale on Fab.com.
However, relief efforts continue to struggle in Japan today and the Tsunami of Support is still underway. You can help make this wave of support stronger than the tsunami that devastated Japan by purchasing a poster from Canary Collective or Unfold Media, in their gallery/stores or spreading the message to others.
