Multiplicity & Visual Identities focuses on
contemporary and future corporate design and
visual representation. Its aim is to examine
visual identity strategies in the changing context
of hybrid societies. The programme aims to look
at the socio-economic, socio-political, and cultural
issues at the interface of private/corporate and
social/collective interests.
Multiplicity & Visual Identities is structured as a
blend of theory, practice and research. It combines
the academic scope of an interrogative course
programme; the intellectual exchange of a
speculative think-tank; the practical elements of a
critical design workshop on (cultural) identity, design
and image politics; and the pragmatism of a real-life
research laboratory for cultural analysis.

Multiplicity & Visual Identities linked to
Icograda/IDA, INDIGO World programme
INDIGO asks: What is indigenous design? To address this, it has set up a network of designers and a series of projects that explore its meaning and interpretation throughout the world.
INDIGO seeks to understand what makes design distinctive to its home and the connections to the place where it is made and for whom it is made. The notion of local design is frequently contested, hard won and often indeterminate. It includes themes of colonisation, migration, politics, language, history, identity and conditions such as the economy and natural resources.
INDIGO
Icograda (the International Council of Graphic Design Associations) is the world body for professional communication design. Founded in 1963, it is a voluntary assembly of organisations concerned with graphic design, visual communication, design management, promotion, education, research and journalism. Icograda promotes communication designers' vital role in society and commerce and unifies the voices of graphic designers and visual communicators worldwide.
