Duka brand -Written in stone

A Creative Exhibition Series

I founded Written In Stone as a multidisciplinary exhibition exploring American history, cultural icons, symbolism, and creative expression through visual art and design.

CHAPTER ONE

Written in stone

a Capstone Exhibition

  • Student Exhibition
  • Location: Delaware State University
  • Year: 2021
  • Chapter: One
  • Series Included: Icon, Chaos, Trophy, Royal
  • Focus: American history, symbolism, visual identity

Written In Stone: Chapter One was developed as a self-sponsored capstone exhibition by Ebube Maduka Ugwu at Delaware State University. The exhibition introduced a growing creative series focused on American history, symbolism, visual identity, and cultural storytelling through four bodies of work: Icon, Chaos, Trophy, and Royal.

Organizing my Exhibition

Building the structure behind my first public showcase

This project was my first opportunity to bring my creative work into public view. From planning timelines to shaping the exhibition layout, every decision required intention, organization, and attention to detail. What began as a creative challenge became a defining lesson in execution, presentation, and storytelling.
