Information design for Post Capitalist Philanthropy

Information and visual narrative design for the book Post-Capitalist Philanthropy: The Healing of Wealth in the Time of Collapse by Transition Resource Circle

Transition Resource Circle is an assemblage of activists, artists, funders and cosmologists working to alchemize and liberate wealth in service to life-affirming systems.

Post Capitalist Philanthropy by Alnoor Ladha and Lynn Murphy takes us on a journey from the history of wealth accumulation and the current logic of late-stage capitalism to the lived possibilities for other ways of knowing, sensing and being that can usher in life-centric models. We worked closely with the authors as a design and thought partner – developing original graphics to act as anchors for complex topics throughout the text, and creating a visual narrative framework that extended across the book, workshops, online platforms and presentations to philanthropic organisations. We also assisted the design for the book’s website – view it here.

This work laid the foundation for the visual identity we later developed for Transition Resource Circle – see the project here.
