Why History Matters to Graphic Design – Clémence Imbert

LUNDIS - LIVRES

As part of the LUNDIS - LIVRES programme, we are delighted to invite you to a meeting with Clémence Imbert, to mark the publication of her book Why History Matters to Graphic Design, part of the Manifestes collection published by HEAD-PUBLISHING.

Why teach the history of graphic design to graphic design students? How does historical knowledge relate to the practice of graphic design? How do students use it? What creative skills do they develop through contact with this subject? All these questions are explored in this manifesto to defend the idea that, far from being just a field of knowledge and a support for academic exercises, the history of graphic design is a field in which the sensibilities of graphic design students are shaped and tested.


LUNDIS - LIVRES
What are books for? What role do they play in art and design studies? How does fiction feed into critical essay, or vice versa? And how does the form of the book add to the meaning of the subject?
The LUNDIS-LIVRES programme offers privileged opportunities for discussion with leading figures from the fields of art and design, whose works feed into and advance our practice. These meetings, conferences and workshops are public and open to the entire HEAD community.
