- Reclaiming media in graphic design
- Experimental publishing, salvaged and repurposed materials
A third-year DNMADe thesis on reclaiming media in graphic design. In it I explore how repurposing and reusing pre-existing materials and objects can become graphic gestures in their own right, proposing forms of publishing that are critical of capitalist and patriarchal models.
The reflection draws on ecological and poststructuralist movements and on alternative graphic practices (micro-publishing, self-publishing, activist graphic design). The project sees graphic design as a tool of intersectionality and takes shape as an editorial object in which every material choice contributes to the political argument.
