About the Insights Lecture Series
For over three decades, the Walker Art Center and AIGA Minnesota have co-presented the Insights Design Lecture Series embracing the unexpected to present diverse, exploratory, and contemporary lecturers.
Featuring perspectives from around the world, Insights gives voice to adventurous design thinkers and makers. These designers often pose challenges and push the edges of their profession, in turn inspiring us to identify new perspectives in our own work. Redefine your understanding of graphic design, dive into the thinking behind the work, then hang out after the lectures to meet the lecturers, grab a drink, and chat with your fellow design lovers.
This year’s in-person lineup features collaborative Actual Source, Yowie founder Shannon Maldonado; Zeynep Orbay, Amsterdam-based creative director for Wieden+Kennedy; as well as Odd Mart, a local “store of the strange” and epicenter for new approaches to comics and illustration.
Expanded programming includes workshops exploring the possibilities of creating tangible, physical forms using digital learning, breaking past the unadventurous inherent in AI writing, and collaborating with printers to discover new processes. In addition, a guest-edited series on the Walker Reader by Unknown Unknowns explores the perpetually mutating relationship between physical and digital publishing.
