2020.2.7. Sheila Levrant de Bretteville speaks at SPL

2/7, Friday 7pm. Design Lecture Series starts this year with graphic designer and educator Sheila Levrant de Bretteville, organized by Civilization. Sheila looks a lot younger than her age, sharp and quick thinker. She showed slides of her work since the 70s, emphasizing women and diversity. Her talk went longer than expected, so Q&A was cut to the moderator's 2 questions only, none from the audience. A very good turnout. The free tickets were sold out. I didn't have a ticket, but was allowed in.

Each seat at the library auditorium was laid a large canvas bag with some design magazines and notepad. The bag is so large, not sure if it's intentional (the magazines are big). A very windy day, I felt that I was holding a kite.
