Personal profile
Willhemina Wahlin is a Lecturer in Graphic Design at Charles Sturt University (Port Macquarie campus), Australia, where she is also a Doctoral student within CSU’s School of Communication and Creative Industries. Willhemina’s research focuses on the typographic representations of people’s testimonies of trauma within ‘difficult knowledge’ exhibitions, and the interpretive role of the designer. Her interest in this field evolved from her work as Creative Director for PROOF: Media for Social Justice, a New York-based non-profit organization that utilizes visual storytelling for human rights and peacebuilding. With PROOF, Willhemina has designed multiple travelling exhibitions that have focused on issues such as genocide prevention, gender violence, child soldiers and criminal justice.
