Slideshow 2: Something Other than Work

Something Other than Work is the 2d volume in the “Slideshow” series – that invites graphic designers to share the research, methods, and material processes behind their applied work, positioning their practice as a site of inquiry.

In this book, Santiago da Silva speaks on the subject of craft, handwork, manufacture, and labour through a history of makers and making, reflecting on how the knowledge involved in these processes enters his applied work and the production of a graphic object. Contributions by Fatima-Ezzahra El Khammas and João Pedro Nogueira, who are students in the MA Graphic Design at the Estonian Academy of Arts, further expand on the themes presented by Santiago da Silva.
