John Marshall Co-Edits AXD Catalog
AXD is a yearlong, city-wide, multi-disciplinary series featuring 22 newly commissioned exhibitions, performances, and events developed by Kresge Artist Fellows, Gilda Award recipients, and Kresge Eminent Artists immersed throughout Detroit, Hamtramck, and Highland Park to explore the changing landscape and narrative of the city and its neighborhoods. Stamps associate professor John Marshall served as co-editor of the AXD catalog. Alongside Cézanne Charles through their design studio rootoftwo, Marshall also served as a project coordinator for AXD.
