This poster is for a private fundraising event in New York City benefiting the Alabama Federation of Democratic Women. The host—a prominent financier—had ties to York, Alabama, thus bridging York to New York. One part of the fundraiser was a fashion show of upcycled denim garments created by Black seamstresses whose former work had been outsourced to Mexico. The Coleman Center, an arts organization focused on Alabama’s Black Belt, provided a creative outlet and means of income for their skills. The pressure print in the background includes the word “York” alongside the silhouette of the state of Alabama, while the dingbats (small printing icons) feature the Empire State Building and the Democratic donkey—a further visual link between the two cities.
