Conference

GRANSHAN conference explores, merges, translates, connects ... worlds of script, ways of communication and sign languages. Renowned designers, researchers of script and typographers from the world over will illustrate the many ways in which the beauty of a language can flourish in script. All the more so, when both language and characters are "different" or foreign to us. They communicate the cultural diversity of their users as well as the users connection to their identity and roots. These ideas of "difference" and diversity will be the subjects of the GRANSHAN conference.

All lectures will be held in English
