This talk took place in The Great Hall at The Cooper Union on June 14, 2019. The livestreaming and video recording were​ made possible by a generous sponsorship from Google. 

Sara De Bondt will share images and stories from her research on multidisciplinary graphic design practices in Belgium in the 1960s and 1970s. Structured around different keywords, the talk will make links to today’s typographic landscape and Sara’s own practice as a designer and publisher.
