Lorraine Wild, designer, educator, historian, Cranbrook Academy of Art graduate, and catalogue essayist will address the agency and urgency of experimental graphic design and alternative publishing of the counterculture.

Richard Newman and Liza Bielby of The Hinterlands, Detroit-based artists who will discuss their critically acclaimed performance, “The Radicalization Process,” a theatrical work that mines the countercultural period of the 1960s and 1970s.
