Agency: Studio Aorta
Client: National Association of Letter Carriers
The Week the Mail Stopped was a temporary exhibition created in celebration of the 50th anniversary of a postal workers’ strike that revolutionized the United States Postal Service by collective bargaining that led to better working conditions and living wages for postal workers. The National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) hosted the exhibition during their biennial convention in August 2022. The exhibition used combined trade show structures, d vibrant graphics, various scales of object displays –including a life sized mail vehicle– to create a museum experience for the convention-goers, many of whom belong to an audience that might not feel like their stories are necessarily represented in typical museum settings.
