Faire 39–40–41 (Vol. 11) is a triple-issue anthology from the bi-monthly French graphic design magazine that binds critical essays, artist prints, and identity work into a single, tightly edited object worth keeping.
About This Book
Faire approaches graphic design not as a service industry but as a site of cultural argument. This volume brings together three distinct threads: Adrian Piper's print series, which uses visual art to confront sexism and racism head-on; a conversation between Manon Bruet and Eurostandard about the visual identities developed for Les Urbaines, an interdisciplinary festival in Lausanne; and an essay by Aude Fellay that repositions the fashion image within the relentless contemporary churn of memes, selfies, and reels. Together they form a coherent inquiry into how graphic design and photography negotiate identity, representation, and cultural power in the present moment.
