Book cover design for Hard Werken: One for All – Graphic Art & Design 1979 – 1994

‘Artists who made design’ is how the founding members of the Rotterdam-based Hard Werken design studio described themselves, and from the outset their work was multidisciplinary, moving fluidly between art and design and epitomising the idea of the designer as author. This was the theme of a symposium held at LCC to mark the launch of the book Hard Werken: One for All – Graphic Art & Design 1979 – 1994, co-written by Ian Horton, Reader in Graphic Communication at LCC, and Dutch artist Bettina Furnée.

The evening was a talk on Tsjeng’s book series Forgotten Women followed by a Q&A, book signing and post-event social.

The latest event of the Feeld Talks series offered a platform for shedding light on Forgotten Women – taking a cue from the book series by Zing Tsjeng, also editor of Broadly, VICE. Speaking with journalist, author and campaigner Victoria Spratt, Zing shared insights about the book series’ origin and the crucial work of reshaping our understanding of female success.
