Join us for a special talk by renowned graphic designer, author and educator Louise Sandhaus! This lively presentation by the author of the seminal book on California graphic design history, "Earthquakes, Mudslides, Fires & Riots: California and Graphic Design, 1936-1986," celebrates resiliency, reinvention and imagination in times of upheaval and change. Louise will share tangents of her work as a California designer and observations about California design’s past to consider how alternative visions lead to other possibilities for design… and for our lives.

 

Louise Sandhaus is a graphic designer and former faculty member and program director at CalArts (California Institute of the Arts). Her studio, LSD (Louise Sandhaus Design), is widely recognized for its contributions to design.
