uma familia

Movimento Congo-Angola is a community of asylum seekers who fled their countries in search of safety, protection, and a better life due to the ongoing issues that violate their basic human rights. I designed their emblem by uniting elements from both countries’ creating a volute spiral resembling yin and yang, symbolizing their visual border in Africa. The red shared by both flags represents blood. In the emblem, I recontextualized the red as an outer stroke to unite them together, representing them as one blood, one family, uma familia. I created stickers featuring this emblem to raise funds for supporting their needs, including housing, transportation, emergency assistance, and other organizational needs they have.
