Type Shorts

The event takes the form of short presentations (not unlike Pecha Kucha, but without its formal constraints) by students, designers, teachers, researchers; essentially anyone who wishes to share their passion for type and graphic design is welcome. Each presentation should take 321 seconds (ca 5 minutes). Presentations should be in English (exceptionally Slovak or Czech) language and can take any kind of form from self-promotional to educational, from speech to movie screening. The goal is to provide as democratic a stage as possible, therefore there is minimal curatorship. The organisers only make sure the speakers have a specific topic in mind, and make sure the overall event is balanced among various fields. There are 8–10 presentations in total. As the name suggests, most of the time slots are devoted to presentations about type and typography.
