Herakut and The Giant Storybook Project in Rochester – October 2012
From Founder Dr. Ian Wilson:
I have been following the work of Herakut since 2009. Their uniquely recognizable creations have graced walls and gallery spaces worldwide.
When I met Hera and Akut in the UK in 2012, I had no idea that their novel project would make its way to Rochester! I was simply enjoying the company of a couple of genuine people.
Herakut spent 6 days in our “Flour City” and were introduced to many of our friends and supporters. We were even able to arrange for them to speak to a group of roughly 85 students at RIT in collaboration with their School of Design and School of Art.
We were honored to have Herakut share their extraordinary talent and look forward to welcoming our new friends back.
Peace and progress,
Ian
