Elizabeth Allen Visiting Lectures in Art History

Priscila Farias, Ph.D., Professor and Coordinator of the Visual Design Research Lab, School of Architecture and Urbanism, University of São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil

Typography and lettering are important elements in the configuration of public and private environments and documents, influencing the way we interact with all kinds of information, with each other, and with other designed artifacts. In this presentation Dr. Farias argues for the relevance of typography to design heritage and graphic memory studies, including examples of her research on Brazilian print culture and public lettering.
