Loyola University Maryland
Humanities Symposium 2022

This series of marketing graphics includes a composite image served as part of a communications campaign to promote the university’s annual Humanities Symposium.

The 2022 symposium text by Usual Le Guin – The Left Hand of Darkness – and the work of keynote speaker Jeff Vandermeer inspired the image.

Their works and the keynote speech contend with the relevant real-world themes of climate and ecology through science fiction.

The image formed from compositing over a dozen stock images in Adobe Photoshop into a single landscape of colliding climates.

The event invites our community to read one work of literature and engage in a common discussion. serves as a week-long event series inspired by a single text for students, faculty, and the Baltimore community.
