Future Graphic Language: New Directions in Verbal Communication

A one-day exhibition and symposium that documents developments in visual language, encompassing the trends in the design of global scripts, multiscript design, and non-alphabetic forms of communication. The exhibition captures some of the latest trends in global communication, and the symposium brings together researchers across disciplines to explore these developments and their implication for design, education, and research. An edited volume of proceedings will be published in 2020.
