Type is Alive
with
Diego Vainesman and
Gary Munch
A typographic-fine arts journey through cemeteries around the world. When we travel to new cities we want to learn and absorb from their cultures. We walk their streets, go to their markets and visit their museums. Modern museums display objects of artistic and cultural significance for the public. For centuries, cemeteries have offered all this, and the combined artistic palette of typography, fine art, and architecture based on the local history.
Please join Type Directors Club’s past presidents Diego Vainesman and Gary Munch exploring that unique palette of more than 80 cemeteries, including: Recoleta (Buenos Aires), Mirogoj (Zagreb), The Magnificent Seven (London), the Longhua Martyrs (Shangai) and many others.
Just as Type is Alive, the souls of those departed are forever remembered in these living museums.
The Herb Lubalin Lectures are recorded and made available here and on Vimeo with the generous support of TypeCulture.
