Marian Bantjes & Jessica Hische on becoming (and staying) successful
The Best of the World's Creativity/Recorded 2013
A close reading, kept within reach.
Marian Bantjes takes graphic design & illustration as a lens on the larger question the festival keeps returning to: what design owes to the people and places it works among. The talk moves from specific projects toward a broader argument about practice.
Recorded in Canada in 2013, the conversation is grounded in Marian's own working method — the compromises, the constraints, and the moments where the work taught them something they didn't expect.
The closing turn is characteristic of the archive: less a conclusion than a provocation, handed to the audience to carry into their own disciplines.
At Design Indaba Conference 2013, Marian Bantjes and Jessica Hische speak about being accused of “ripping each other off”.
