Join us for a reception celebrating the exhibition Signs of Humanity, featuring a panel discussion with artist Willie Baronet and Jefferson College of Population Health associate professor Rosemary Frasso.

Willie Baronet is an award-winning graphic designer and Stan Richards Professor in Creative Advertising at Southern Methodist University’s Meadows School of the Arts. Since 1993, Baronet has been buying and collecting signs from people soliciting support on the street, in response to his own discomfort witnessing poverty. In 2014, Baronet and three filmmakers drove across the U.S. interviewing more than 100 people on the streets and purchasing over 280 signs while producing the documentary film, Signs of Humanity.

In July 2018, Baronet completed a residency in Philadelphia, collecting signs and interviews with JCPH associate professor Rosemary Frasso. The exhibition Signs of Humanity includes signs from Philadelphia.

Co-sponsored by the Jefferson College of Population Health.

This event is open to the public. Registration is appreciated, but not required.
