Brian Johnson, a member of the Monacan Indian Nation, has published a new book titled "Designed to Be Red: Native & Indigenous Graphic Works." This book aims to decolonize the field of graphic design by showcasing over 200 years of Native American graphic works from numerous nations. Johnson's project, which took three years, was inspired by a request from Poster House gallery. His Native heritage and extensive career in design, combined with the trust of contributors, allowed for this significant work. The title itself plays on the colonial idea of Native Americans being designated "red" and flips it to mean "read" or understood. Johnson, with his background from the Monacan Indian Nation and his education at RISD, emphasizes the importance of uplifting marginalized voices through design. He collaborated with other Native scholars and designers to create conversations within the book. Johnson's curatorial process involved finding works and understanding the stories behind them, often encountering misattributions or erased creators. Key pieces included in the book are "The Shrine to Hypocrisy" by Akwesasne Notes and the historical "Powhatan's Mantle." The book concludes with a call to action, urging readers to decolonize their teachings and question established narratives. Ultimately, Johnson stresses the need to slow down capitalist impulses to reestablish community connections and human value.
