About this event
An interactive conversation that explored the role manifestos play in our design practices.
In every professional field, there are definitive texts, for example in Medicine, The Merck Manual comes to mind. The Chicago Graphic Design Club has compiled the manifestos that have shaped graphic design’s evolution for over 100 years.
Part conversation and part interactive workshop we explored a collection of manifestos. We discussed and challenged the role of manifestos and discover how they can impact and shape our practices.
In addition, we facilitated an interactive workshop that allowed participants to craft and develop their own manifestos.
We’ve compiled a collection of manifestos on our website. We encourage you to get familiar with at least 3 of your choosing, prior to our meeting. We’ll be discussing them as a group.
