Label TextFriendship Launch, After Katherine Johnson was named as an homage to Katherine Johnson, a human computer who worked for NASA in the 1960s. In this photographic print, Halloran merges art and science to capture America’s enthusiasm about space during the Space Race and later years. Halloran is passionate about re-focusing the history of science on the stories of those often overlooked: women and people of color like Katherine Johnson. Status
