Venue: 3331 Arts Chiyoda B105

tokyo graphic passport 2011


The workshop "Swiss Typography 2" will be a continuation of so+ba's last "Swiss typography" lecture from last year. The lecture will also include practical work. so+ba will start with a very short introduction to classical Swiss typography and then focus on the experimental development of Swiss typography of Wolfgang Weingart, who is called "the father of Swiss punk design". Weingart is famous for his experimental, expressive work that broke the mould of classical Swiss typography. It was he who ignited the spark of 'typographic anarchy' that burst onto the scene at the beginning of the 1980s.

the rendez-vous project is about collaboration between designers/artist and local industries. so+ba's partner is "waku-waku" sheltered workshop for deaf-blind people. in our project we wanted to integrate the waku-waku people into the creative process, not only into the production proscess. we asked them to write messages they would like to share with the seeing people. this messages, mixed with quotes from helene keller (1880-1968) a deaf-blind american activist, where printed on envelopes using the color black and sky-blue.
the second envelope introduces the font-system "braille" created by louise braille 1854.
both of the envelope-projects are made out of recycled braille news paper.
