Public Address System

Public Address System – Typographic Interpretations of Historical Speeches (Berlin), exhibition and book curated by Angharad Lewis, Grafik magazine, London, UK.

Type poster: The Dalai Lama Speech

Agathe Jacquillat and Tomi Vollauschek from FL@33 were invited by Henry Peacock Gallery and Grafik magazine to contribute one typographic A2 poster for the exhibition Public Address System (London) – 40 typographic interpretations of historical speeches.
FL@33's contribution interprets a speech by His Holiness the Dalai Lama addressing the European Parliament in October 2001. The typographic illustration represents a Mexican standoff with three warriors of different time periods threatening each other – a thought-provoking visual to compliment the core message of the speech on Dalai Lama's non-violent struggle for world peace.

The exhibition poster Dalai Lama Speech was printed in a limited, hand-numbered edition of 300, black and fluo orange (Pantone 804).

The book Public Address System – Poster Speeches by Typographers by Angharad Lewis, Harriet Warden, Thom Winterburn and Paul Finn was published in November 2006 by Images Publishing Group, Victoria, Australia.

Although we were in Berlin, too – we had to rely on Angharad Lewis to take decent pictures of the exhibition that we show here with her kind permission.
