Awakening the Dragon: Role Playing Guide

Workshop Identity Design
2026

This visual identity was created for Awakening the Dragon: Role Playing Guide Workshop, a participatory event led by Lani Asunción and Joanna Tam as part of the Hidden Histories Artists-in-Residence program and The Reckonings Project Community Network Series exploring Boston’s dragon boat histories, archival memory, and AANHPI community narratives. The design combines bold typography with a custom icon system inspired by dragon boats, waves, paddling, masks, and collective storytelling, creating a visual language that feels ceremonial, active, and communal.
