The Metropolitan Museum of Art needed to design an exhibition catalogue for their show Flight Into Egypt: Black Artists and Ancient Egypt, 1876–Now. The exhibition, curated by Akili Tommasino, examines Black Artists and other contemporary figures that draw inspiration from Ancient Egypt. The catalogue’s design is driven by an irregular “fractal grid” – inspired by Audrey Bennett’s essay “Follow the Golden Ratio from Africa to the Bauhaus for a Cross-Cultural Aesthetic for Images” where Bennett challenges Fibonacci by tracing the golden ratio all the way back to Ancient Egypt.
