ByEmily Oberman
Trailer: Emily Oberman on 20 years of design and redesign
Make. Change./Recorded 2015

A close reading, kept within reach.
Emily Oberman 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 USA in 2015, the conversation is grounded in Emily'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.
New York-based graphic designer Emily Oberman has been working on the title credits for Saturday Night Live for the last 20 years.
