[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heeyoon] The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism announced on the 24th that it will hold 'Typojanchi Saisai 2022-2023' at Culture Station Seoul 284 Artio in collaboration with the Korea Craft & Design Foundation.

This event is organized as a pre-event for the main exhibition 'Typojanchi 2023: International Typography Biennale,' which will be held from September to October next year.

The event will take place from September 2 to 4. Nine creators active in the fields of literature, music, and visual arts from both domestic and international backgrounds will conduct lectures, workshops, and performances under the theme "Objectified Sound, Embodied Letters."

In particular, French designer Alex Valjeur will give a lecture and workshop titled "The Relationship Between Letters and Sound: Focusing on Poetry," and music critic Shin Yesul will present lectures on the relationship between letters and sound as well as music graphic notation.

Art director Park Yeonju said, "Sound is visualized and objectified through processes such as dictation, typing, and printing, while letters are embodied through acts like reading aloud and performance. Through this process, we explore the diverse relationships between letters and sound and demonstrate that typography is an 'art of connection.'"
