Graphic design that starts from the body may sound appealing in theory, but how does it actually take shape in practice? To explore this, I created a format that gives me deadlines, constraints, and room to experiment. Every few weeks, I host a workshop that begins with a reference —a text, image, book, essay, or manifesto— that responds to the idea of the 'body as a medium'.
The first workshop took place with nine fellow master’s students. I opened the session with a breathing exercise, reading a text by Clara Pasteau, Hypertensions: Mindful Liberation, from the publication Beginnings. This helped us arrive together, settle into the space, and become more aware of our bodies.
The focus of the workshop was to create our initials—the first letter of our name. The tools were simple: ink, white A3 paper, and our hands and fingers.
