Critical conversations: A collaboration with A Line Which Forms a Volume!

Futuress had the pleasure to re-publish some of the text from the past issue of A Line Which Forms a Volume! The publication is a critical reader and symposium of graphic design-led research that is edited, written, designed, and published by participants of the MA Graphic Media Design course at London College of Communication, U.K. Issue #4 approaches the topic of decoloniality and the constructed borders of the design canon. It asks: “What are the boundaries that graphic design exists within?” Dive into the conversation with Clara Balaguer, and learn why using open-source programs entails a privilege in Learning from the Vernacular by Rhys Atkinson. Explore how Lucas LaRochelle queers artificial intelligence in Queer Dreams of an A.I. by Riccardo Righi, and follow Yu Jiwon as she talks about the representation of Asian Design in the West in The Interlocality of Typography by Rachel So Dam Jung!
