2022 BOOK CLUB MEETINGS
Saturday Nov 19, 2022 10:30 AM – 12:00 PM
The Carroll Slater Sifly Piazza at the Atlanta High Museum.
Creative Anarchy: How to Break the Rules of Graphic Design for Creative Success.
Our discussion will focus on graphic design’s ability to convey how power is effectively used and distributed, and justice is fulfilled. Based upon Glaser and Mirko’s book The Design of Dissent, the authors will discuss how today’s image makers and corporate shamans can use design to create the more beautiful and just world we all know is possible.
Saturday October 8, 2022 10:30 AM – 12:00 PM
The Carroll Slater Sifly Piazza at the Atlanta High Museum.
The Design of Dissent: Socially and Politically Driven Graphics.
Join us for an in-person discussion at the Carroll Slater Sifly Piazza at the Atlanta High Museum. We will be sitting under the trees by the museum’s entrance. Look for the Atlanta AIGA pink sign.
