Centre Pompidou
École nationale supérieure des arts décoratifs (EnsAD)
The symposium "Graphic design, forms of history" was held in Paris on November 27-27, 2014. Its videos aims at contributing to the thoughts on how is created the particular history of graphic design.
**
About thirty years after this new field began to emerge, does it matter, or not, to defend an autonomous history of graphic design and typography ? What relations does this historiography maintain with research and practice in other fields ? These questions will be at the heart of this two-days program.
