St Bride Foundation lecture

Expanding the design canon: fresh perspectives on women in type and publishing
An evening as part of the ‘Women in Type’ Leverhulme Trust & University of Reading research project in celebration of St Bride Library’s 125th year. The lecture is on Zoom and is next Wednesday 10th November 7.00-9.00pm.
This talk will celebrate recent contributions to the field of graphic design history, which seek to shake established narratives to expand the design canon. The panel of speakers will share their thoughts on the imperative to reconsider women’s depiction in received design histories, and will highlight some past and present contributions by women to the fields of type, graphic design and publishing. The evening will also feature the launch of an exciting new website comprising a visualisation of the findings of the 'Women in Type’ Leverhulme Trust funded project.
With speakers Briar Levit, Rathna Ramanathan, Fiona Ross, Alice Savoie, Martha Scotford, Mathieu Triay.
