The event will be followed by a reception in an associated gallery exhibition that traces the evolution of the book and broadens its lens to celebrate the field of information design as a whole.

Works by Shirley Wu, Nadieh Brehmer, Nigel Holmes, Zan Armstrong, Mona Chalabi, Giorgia Lupi, Data Vandals, and Kenneth Field showcase today’s expanding visual vocabulary alongside historic examples chosen for aesthetic and thematic resonance.

(I am very pumped for this.)
