SEEN Around the World Symposium

UN/SEEN—The SEEN Around the World Symposium presents outstanding (female and non-binary) international designers who address current socially relevant issues and express their opinions using typographic means and innovative formats.

The 3-day symposium will be held from April 9th to 11th, 2025. During the Around the World Symposium, numerous international typographers and type designers from across the globe will gather to discuss and celebrate. The event is free to attend, with all talks taking place live at LUX Mainz. Additionally, all sessions will be livestreamed. The conference language will be English.

UN/SEEN is a project dedicated to increasing the visibility of women in graphic design, focusing on the period between 1865 and 1919. By researching archives, enhancing Wikipedia articles, and organizing symposiums with contemporary women typographers, UN/SEEN aims to address the historical underrepresentation of female designers. The project also engages in broader discussions on gender, discrimination, and intersectionality in design, challenging traditional narratives and highlighting the importance of the pre-Bauhaus era and applied arts in shaping design history. Through these efforts, UN/SEEN seeks to rewrite the history of design with a more inclusive perspective.
