The Blind Tiger: A Prohibition Experience, is an immersive educational exhibition concept that brings the counter-culture movement formed by the Prohibition Act to the 21st century.
From smuggles to spirits, guests will follow the journey of prohibited alcohol; learn why it got banned, how it was made and transported, and ultimately, find themselves in one of Chicago's finest speakeasies.
This playful concept was part of a group collaboration project with the graphic design department, which I lead during my second sophomore semester at Ringling College.
This was a collaborative project with designers Kaitlyn Stankye, Bella Erhamza and Trung Ho.
