For this year, our events series Depth of Field will continue online.¹ In 2019–20, we invited a range of guests with the aim of unsettling and excavating how we practice, think and learn about graphic communication design.² The events of 2020 have both intensified and lent focus to this ambition.
This year’s series will consider questions of the most urgent relevance to education and industry in graphic communication design, placing them into social, environmental and historical contexts. How should graphic and communication designers interact with the dominance of the tech sector, particularly as this is intensified through the pandemic? What can graphic design do to make a step-change against racism and coloniality that has a meaningful long-term impact? How is the environmental crisis a crisis of communication?
