Insights 2024 Design Lecture Series

Expand your understanding of graphic design with the Insights Design Lecture Series, presenting leading designers and design thinkers from around the world. Exploring the theme of collaboration through a variety of perspectives and approaches, this year’s Insights pairs four in-person lectures with expanded programs that range from virtual workshops to articles, special projects, and more.

This year’s in-person lineup features innovators in type and motion Dia Studio, Brooklyn Public Library Creative Director Leila Taylor, long-term collaborators Studio Lin, as well as the Twin Cities Zine Fest, whose members have championed sustainable self-publishing and the DIY ethic in our local community for 20 years.

Expanded programming includes workshops from the Feminist Center for Creative Work in Los Angeles’s Co—Conspirator Press, Chicago’s Half Letter Press/Temporary Services, as well as a series of original redesigns of objects guest edited by David Gissen, author of The Architecture of Disability: Buildings, Cities, and Landscapes beyond Access.

Copresented by the Walker Art Center and AIGA Minnesota.
