SUMMARY:Postponed - With a Cast of Colored Stars - A Talk with Kelly Walters
DESCRIPTION:In design\, visual expression is informed by an understanding of history\, language\, symbols\, patterns and image aesthetics. It is imperative that designers have a strong foundation in these areas in order to support the creation of culturally conscious work. Despite this awareness\, there remain gaps in design history that neglect showing a broad spectrum of visual languages from the past and excludes discussions on how design has been complicit in forming and reinforcing racism. \nThrough historical archival research and the act of experimental printmaking\, my research aims to highlight the linguistic phrases used in promotional Black film posters during the Jim Crow through Blaxploitation eras. By extracting typographic elements such as “an all colored cast” or “with a cast of colored stars\,” Kelly Walters is able to closely examine examples of segregation while also re-contextualizing them for new alternative platforms. In looking closely at typographic details\, language\, and gestures\, identifiable patterns emerge pointing to shifts in communication styles and cultural representation in this area of poster design. \nAbout Kelly Walters\nKelly Walters is a designer and educator whose work investigates the intersection of black cultural vernacular in mainstream media. Her research practice is deeply intertwined with the molding and shaping of cultural identity\, and an investment in making visible historical visual expressions that reclaim a Black voice within the field of graphic design. In her independent design studio Bright Polka Dot\, she produces print and digital ephemera for publications\, exhibitions and social campaigns. She currently is an Assistant Professor of Communication Design at Parsons School of Design at The New School in New York. \nWebsite: https://brightpolkadot.com/ \nInstagram: @brightpolkadot

SUMMARY:Angelina Lippert: Poster House New York
DESCRIPTION:Join Poster House Chief Curator\, Angelina Lippert\, as she talks about the history of the PSA (Public Service Announcement) poster. From Tuberculosis to Loose Lips Sink Ships\, Only You Can Prevent Forest Fires to Silence = Death\, she'll explore a wide array of topics and methods that have been used to disseminate information to the public for the greater good. She'll start her talk with a brief introduction to Poster House\, the first museum in the United States dedicated to the art and history of the poster. \nAngelina holds an MA in the art of the Russian Avant-Garde from the Courtauld Institute of Art in London\, and a BA in theology and art history from Smith College. Prior to working at Poster House\, Angelina served ten years as a poster specialist at a leading New York City leading auction house. She has produced dozens of auction catalogs and articles\, as well as The Art Deco Poster\, and has lectured at SVA and The Cooper Union. She is a member of AAM\, AAMC\, AIGA\, and is on the Board of Directors for The Ephemera Society of America. Her research interests include German Expressionism\, Soviet film posters\, and the history of food and wine in advertising. \nAbout Poster House\nPoster House is the first museum in the United States dedicated exclusively to posters. Through exhibitions\, events\, and publications\, the museum presents a global view of posters from their earliest appearance in the late 1800s to their present-day use. Poster House takes its mission from the medium\, aiming to engage and educate all audiences as it investigates large-format graphic design and its public impact. \nPoster House was founded in 2015 with an eye towards filling a long-acknowledged gap in the New York cultural landscape. While there are several poster museums around the world\, New York\, with its long relationship with advertising and design\, did not have such a dedicated public institution. After several years of planning and construction\, Poster House opened its doors on June 20\, 2019. \n \nRegistration for this special event is available on a first-come\, first-served basis.

SUMMARY:Brenda McManus and Ned Drew: L is for Labor of Love
DESCRIPTION:After their son was born in 2013\, Ned and Brenda began to conceive of a meaningful purpose for the collection of type\, woodblocks\, and line-engraved images that they have been amassing for 20+ years. They decided to create a learning tool\, a unique letterpress book of ABCs that took five years to make. The project combines many facets of their lives: family\, teaching\, letterpress printing\, design\, and collecting. \nThe project was born out of their shared passion for design\, a focus on typography\, an engagement with design history\, and an infatuation with letterpress artifacts. Ned and Brenda strongly believe in the preservation of a living history of letterpress\, as there is no greater tool for teaching future generations of typographers about the craft and the value of hands-on work. \nThey also believe that it is essential to intentionally make space for those projects that are labors of love\, projects that integrate play and discovery into the creative process\, on personal terms. The freedom of those experiments is essential for creative growth. \n \nRegistration for this special event is available on a first-come\, first-served basis. Tickets to the TDC Virtual Salons are free to members only. Non-members are asked for a suggested donation of ten dollars to help fund our free recordings of events and to grow typographic awareness.

In a career spanning over seventeen years\, Shantanu has worked in India and the United States as an art director\, graphic designer\, documentary filmmaker\, and design educator.
