The Tokyo Metropolitan Teien Art Museum held a three-day online workshop “TamaEcal Workshop”, inspired by the exhibition “Constructive Posters of the 20th Century”. It was held in cooperation with the Embassy of Switzerland in Japan, with faculty members and graduates of the Ecole Cantonale d’Art de Lausanne (ECAL) as Instructors, and graduate students at Tama Art University as participants. Each of the Instructors were in Lausanne, Paris, and Seoul, and the participants gathered in a classroom in Tokyo. The workshop, which was held through a network, was highly experimental, but it proved to be a fruitful example of how modernist typeface design is still an effective means of design and education today.
