Johanna Drucker September 7, 7pm in Falvey Hall ? MICA Graphic ...

We are bombarded by signage?street, municipal, traffic, commercial, as well as personal notices and graffiti. How do they shape our experience of the urban landscape? Can we talk back to them, interrogate them? Beyond literal words and meanings, what can these signs tell us about ourselves, our city, our society, our foibles? Speaker Johanna Drucker will challenge us to contemplate, explore and document the written word in urban spaces and places.
