About this Event
Explore—and interact—with a curated selection of books, periodicals, posters, sketches, original art, and related ephemera that chronicle the history of written communications. From the invention of writing and medieval manuscripts to the advent of print and the proliferation of digital type, our collection illuminates humankind’s ongoing engagement with written expression. Please note that the tour focus will vary according to the expertise of the host.
Your guide for this special tour is Angela Riechers.
Angela Riechers (she/her), is an educator, writer, and graphic designer originally from New York. She holds an MFA in Design Criticism from the School of Visual Arts and a BFA in Illustration from the Rhode Island School of Design. Before arriving at the Archive, Angela worked as an editorial art director for national magazines, taught at a number of New York City design colleges, and was Program Director of Graphic Design at the University of the Arts, Philadelphia. Her book was recently published by Princeton University Press. She has a dark sense of humor but walks on the sunny side of the street, and will whip up a mean birthday cake if you ask nicely.
