Online talks: Right Aligned, from Coventry Design Festival
While Coventry Design Festival is not returning until May 2022, the team has devised a series of online talks in an attempt to inspire creative minds during lockdown. Right Aligned has so far had sit-downs with studios including Koto and Two times Elliott, while the upcoming programme promises more candid insights into the world of design. Throughout May, it will be in conversation with Studio Bellow founder Gareth Rutter as well as Orca studio which specialises in branding challenger start-ups. Later in the month, there will be talks with Middle Boop’s Gordon Reid and design studio Sea.
Written collaboratively by a diverse team of designers,
Extra Bold: A Feminist, Inclusive, Anti-Racist, Nonbinary Field Guide for Graphic Design (Princeton Architectural Press, May 11, 2021) aims to add new voices to the conversation around DEI and design and reshape how we view and think about our world.
Featuring interviews, essays, typefaces, and projects from dozens of contributors across a variety of racial and ethnic backgrounds, abilities, gender identities, and positions of economic and social privilege,
Extra Bold is filled with stories and ideas that don’t show up in other career books or design overviews.
The book opens with essays that bring fresh ideas to feminism, racism, inclusion, and nonbinary thinking. Later, it explores power structures and how to navigate them. Interviews showcase people at different stages of their careers, and biographical sketches explore individuals whose stories haven’t been told due to sexism, racism, and ableism.
