We welcome you to the sixth session of Typographic Nights at Page Not Found, curated by Trang Ha and Paulina Trzeciak.

“Typographic Nights” are a space for graphic designers and the public to gather around understandings and misunderstandings of the graphic design process. Audience members are asked to bring texts which they would like to see transformed into visual works. These could be either small pieces of their own writing, borrowed fragments, or hand-picked inspirational quotes. The invited designers and typographers will materialise these texts into beautiful printed matter on the spot, demonstrating their skills and knowledge. Works will be printed the same night, ready to take home. Together we will reveal the curiosity, fun, improvisation and care that are part of graphic design, from choosing a typeface to applying analog materials, and much more!

This Typographic Night features live design performances by With Dun Lee, Miquel Hervás Gómez and The Rodina and is made possible thanks to the support by PICTORIGHT and Stroom Den Haag.

Dun Lee (South Korea, 1993) explores ways of utilising graphic design as a tool. As a tool of thinking, she remixes the pre-existing circumstances to discover unexpected currencies, the possibilities. As a tool of communication, she observes how people use language to write, say, and hear. She is studying at Werkplaats Typografie, NL. She graduated BA Graphic Communication Design at Central Saint Martins, UK in 2020.

Miquel Hervás Gómez (b.1985, Terrassa). Graphic designer and educator based on the WWW. Tutor for Disarming Design at the Sandberg Instituut and Preparatory Course at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie. Workshop manager at the BB. Active member of fanfare and former Carne Kids.

The Rodina is Tereza Ruller (she/her), who identifies as a mother, communication designer, researcher, and educator. In her studio, The Rodina, Ruller investigates performative and critical approaches towards graphic design. Her transdisciplinary practice emphasizes the power of situation, playfulness, active spectatorship, and relations between human and nonhuman actors. Ruller’s work is deeply collaborative and consists of participatory events, spatial installations, virtual environments, and visual identities. Addressing critical issues of our time—such as ecological and social crises—she seeks to develop collective shifts in perspective.
