6-Month Campaign
This case study highlights Coriolis Company’s efforts for Lynne Thompson’s Blue on a Blue Palette, published by BOA Editions on April 16, 2024. The book reflects on the condition of women—their joys despite their histories, and their insistence on survival as issues of race, culture, pandemic, and climate threaten their livelihoods.
