The Mechanics of the Mediating Discipline

Join us for ‘The Mechanics of the Mediating Discipline’, a presentation focusing on the relationship between the graphic designer's practice and society. The aim is to reveal the complex mechanism behind the ever-changing profession, so often hidden behind vague promises of power and influence offered by design schools and conferences. 

Wednesday 22 Januari, 16:00-18:00 (please RSVP (info@palaceoftypographicmasonry.nl), limited seating available)

Loods 6, KNSM-laan 231, 1019 LC Amsterdam
