Activism and Graphic Design: How can graphic design be activist?

Watch: It's All Graphic #2

How can graphic design be activist? Design activism is about using the incredible power of visual communication as a tool for making a positive transformation in the world. In the eighties, the collective Wild Plakken was an outspoken example of how to integrate political activism and graphic design. Lies Ros, one of the three founders, will be interviewed about those years with visual support from the archives of the Wim Crouwel Institute. Afterwards, Roosje Klap, Raul Balai and Yuri Veerman will present their work and Ruben Pater will conclude the evening with a column. Design rebels united!

Speakers: Lies Ros, Yuri Veerman, Raul Balai and Ruben Pater
