Maya Exhibition identity + [re]design + interpretative writing
for the North American premier at The Royal BC Museum in Victoria, Canada, and the upcoming exhibition tour in the U.S.
On over 1000 square metres, the touring exhibition ‘Maya — The Great Jaguar Rises’ tells stories of everyday life, beliefs, king-like rulers and fights. Visitors can explore spectacular Maya treasures, awe-inspiring architecture and astonishing cultural accomplishments in unique immersive exhibition spaces. The exhibition was [originally] designed [for the MARQ Alicante, Spain] by the Spanish architect studio ROCAMORA Diseño & Arquitectura, curated by Nikolai Grube and produced by MuseumsPartner, Ministerio de Cultura y Deportes de Guatemala and The Royal BC Museum.
Because of the new exhibition texts [including braille texts], graphic panels [including new infographics + maps], tactile elements, interactives and games the exhibition is now engaging and accessible for everyone — for kids and adults alike.
The new exhibition graphics [on backlit fabric displays, backlit foils, glass foils, Plexi and Forex panels] provide clear visual reference for the visitors throughout the various thematic areas, effectively communicate the key messages and give a holistic image of Maya culture.
The new bold geometric logotype, colour system and typography reinforce the straight shapes and energetic spirit of the Maya people.
