From April 9 to 11, 2025, the LUX Pavilion in Mainz transformed into a vibrant hub for typographic discourse and discovery. The SEEN–Around the World symposium, part of the research project Innovative Women in Graphic Design 1865–1919 & Today, brought together more than 30 international female and non-binary type designers, sharing their unique practices, experiences, and visions for the future of design.
Organized by Prof. Dr. Petra Eisele, Prof. Dr. Isabel Naegele, Dr. Aliena Guggenberger, and Julia Neller, the three-day hybrid event featured live talks, panel discussions, and recorded interviews that offered a truly global perspective on contemporary typographic work.
Moderated by Flavia Nálon, Anja Lutz, and myself (Julia Kahl), the symposium created an open and inspiring space for dialogue across generations and continents.
As a special highlight, the symposium was accompanied by the exhibition “Flags with a Message,” presenting powerful typographic statements by students of the Communication Design department at University of Applied Sciences in Mainz.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone involved—it was an honor to be part of this important and inspiring initiative!
