At a time when staying neutral sometimes seems impossible, Studio Saber, Yuri Veerman and Studio Melli dare to address pressing issues through design that takes a clear stance. They explore how graphic design can fuel movements and express both ‘for’ and ‘against’. Typography and language play a crucial role in their practice, serving as powerful tools to sharpen and convey messages. What role does graphic design play in shaping public opinion? How do designers confront issues that matter?
Expect an inspiring evening at Kamu as we explore how their practices intersect and how the work contributes to wider social and political discourse. We will discuss how visual work can help take a stand, pushing the boundaries of the profession. This encourages designers to think critically about the role of design in public discourse.
