Playing the Fool Exhibition

For our Interpretive Exhibition Design and Interpretive Exhibition Graphics classes, my partner and I collaborated to develop an exhibition concept titled "Playing the Fool: The Journey of the Clown." This project showcased our ability to create a dynamic, immersive, and educational visitor experience.

Our exhibition traced the rich, global history of clowns, exploring their origins in ancient Egypt, their transformation through cultures worldwide, and their prominence in 19th-century circus culture. We examined clowns as entertainers, spiritual figures, literary archetypes, and social commentators, highlighting how they have reflected societal values, challenged norms, and brought humor and insight throughout history.
