[Anja Groten | Anja] and [Juliette Lizotte | Juliette] are contributing to the Glossary of Undisciplined Design symposium and publication.

⁣The Glossary of Undisciplined Design (GUD) is a loose collection of disobedient strategies, empowering role models and critical tools in graphic design. It celebrates pioneers of nonconformity and care in graphic design as well as contemporaries who work towards dismantling design’s Eurocentric and male-dominated historiography. In doing so, GUD combines a multitude of theories and narratives with unruly tools and strategies for empowering modes of contemporary design practice.⁣


⁣The 3-day symposium at the GfZK from February 20 to 23, 2020, brings together international designers and thinkers from different generations and traditions. Cherishing its original meaning as a convivial gathering, the symposium will become a site of informal, collaborative, performative as well as discursive parts and interventions. The symposium’s aim is to create moments of focus and exchange, in order to discuss possible entries to the glossary and look for polyphonic definitions. The outcomes of the symposium will be part of a print version of GUD, to be published in autumn 2020.⁣
