AIGA Boston + ICA Presents Louise Sandhaus, followed by a conversation with Doug Scott and Ramon Tejada, moderated by Anne Thompson. How we understand design history is changing. The canonical narrative rooted in the Bauhaus is shifting through a messy but exciting process in which so much more is recognized and included. Louise takes us on her journey to understanding the problem and possibilities that resulted in the founding of The People’s Graphic Design Archive and offered new potentials for understanding the past and vibrant new futures going forward.
In collaboration with Morgan Searcy, students worked in groups as part of Robert Finkel’s Spring Graphic Design History Course to search family archives and their surroundings in the Southeast. Students identified, researched, and uploaded original design artifacts to The PGDA. See some of the results on The Archive.
