The starting point for this event is the De La Warr Pavilion’s current exhibition The New Line: Works from the Jobbing Printing Collection. Through 1930s commercial print, the exhibition shows how the movement of people, often escaping oppressive political regimes, contributed to the development of new social and political ideas expressed through design. Like the De La Warr Pavilion itself, The New Line shows the interconnectedness of art, ideology, design and industry throughout the 1930s. The New Line features works by over fifty artists including Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, Edward McKnight Kauffer, Serge Chermayeff and Len Lye.
- 2.30-3.30pm: Short talks by each participant
