The exhibition “50 years, 50 designers” commemorates half a century of the Faculty of Fine Arts. It showcases a selection of 50 works made by professional designers who studied in that faculty. The inauguration, held on 25 March, was a nice meeting between former students and lecturers of the faculty. The press conference highlighted the high level of graphic design in the Basque Country and the unquestionable social role of design in improving our lives and our environment.
Entre esos trabajos seleccionados se encuentra la familia tipográfica Harri, en sus versiones Display y Text. Es uno de los tres proyectos tipográficos presentes en la exposición, y el único que muestra un proyecto en torno a la tipografía vasca. Ha sido un gran honor y una gran motivación para seguir trabajando el ser seleccionado para formar parte de esta exposición, que se hará itinerante y que va acompañada de la publicación de un libro que recoge todos los proyectos además de las impresiones y explicaciones de sus creadores.
Harri type family is among the selected works, both in its Display and Text versions. It is one of the three typographic projects in the exhibition, and the only one that shows a project based on Basque lettering. Being selected for this exhibition has been a great honour and gives me great encouragement to keep on working in the field of type design. It will become a travelling exhibition and soon all the projects along with impressions and explanations from their authors will be collected in a book.
Below you can see part of the interview the Basque public tv channel (ETB) did to some of the selected designers.
