Mostro 3 Graphic Design Camp | Talk

The third edition of MOSTRO – graphic design camp is dedicated to Europe and the bridges that culture can throw thanks to designers of different generations and backgrounds where politics and economics lag behind for fear and speculation. The festival shows stories and events in which creativity and research are concrete opportunities for collaboration, dialogue and work. The format of MOSTRO continues to insist on exhibitions, talks and workshops in collaboration with the Laboratorio Formentini to tell the figures and crafts of visual communication and graphic arts.  This year the festival also involves two other venues: the Czech Center in via Morgagni and the new Meme gallery in via Crispi, Milan.

Here are the talks that will be held at the Laboratory Formentini:

Studio Okolo in Prague will hold an exhibition on the visualization of the texts that Maria Cristina Didero has written in her career as a curator. A visual experiment aimed at extending the relationship between curator and designer to that of the visual communicator. The exhibition will be set up at the Formentini Laboratory and during a talk in which the authors will talk to Didero about the themes of the exhibition.

Pavel will also be present in the group show that will open at the Meme gallery, a new space dedicated to design and applied arts.
