Visual Arts Center

Happening this Thursday at 6pm! Held in conjunction with the exhibition “Hundred Points: Graphic Design from Austin, São Paulo, Cairo, and Helsinki,” Studio Talks brings together four international design studios for a series of conversations and presentations on the current landscape and future of global graphic design.

Following an introduction by “Hundred Points” curator Lope Gutiérrez–Ruiz, studios featured in the VAC exhibition will discuss how their design practices are informed by the culture of their respective cities and the clients they collaborate with during individual presentations and Q&A sessions with the audience. 

Guest presenters include Werklig (Helsinki), Hammoud 3000 (Cairo/Berlin), Alles Blau (São Paulo), and Nada Hesham of 40Mustaquel (Cairo).  Each studio presentation will conclude with a brief Q&A with the audience.
