Counterforms: Practices, Theories, and Methods (Oct 9)
Join the Graphic and Digital Design (GDD) department and Assistant Professor Trevor Embury at the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) for our inaugural public seminar series, Counterforms: Practices, Theories, and Methods. Explore the complexities of design across its various modalities, from practice and activism to discipline and ways of knowing, and beyond.
Throughout this series, participants will engage with Dr. Katherine Gillieson (September 25) and Dr. Bonne Zabolotney (October 9) from Emily Carr University, who challenge conventional notions and highlight the often hidden, complex dimensions of design. Each session promises to broaden horizons and provoke critical thinking, examining design as a catalyst for community building, pushing boundaries, and driving social change, as well as a disciplined practice grounded in theory and exploration.
Participants will explore design as a field of study, unravelling its historical foundations and contemporary challenges, and understanding design as an act of reconfiguration—shaping experiences, interactions, and meaning.
Don’t miss this opportunity—join GDD for Counterforms: Practices, Theories, and Methods on September 25 and October 9, 2024, at 6 p.m. in room C1422.
