- **Event Name**: KONVERENTS: Constellations in Metal: An Exploration of Baltic Typographic Identities.
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 24 Apr, 2026 at 11:00 am – Fri, 24 Apr, 2026 at 06:00 pm (+03:00)
- **Event Description**: 👉 KUTSE KONVERENTSILE: “Tähtkujud metallis: Balti tüpograafiliste identiteetide uurimus” on ühepäevane konverents, mis toimub 24. aprillil 2026 kell 11:00-18:00 Eesti Kunstiakadeemias (EKA). 

👉 Trükikultuuri on pikka aega peetud uute identiteetide mootoriks (McLuhan 1962). Trükimeedia on eelkõige võimaldanud rahvuslike kogukondade kujutlemist, kujundades seeläbi kaasaegset rahvuslikku teadvust (Anderson 2006). Kirjatüübid kui raamatutesse, dokumentidesse ja muudesse trükistesse põimitud kultuurilised artefaktid (Shaw 2017) ongi selle protsessi käegakatsutav väljendus. See teoreetiline raamistik on eriti ilmne Balti kontekstis, kus tüpograafia ja identiteet on läbi ajaloo ja tänapäeva omavahel tihedalt seotud. Konverentsil uuritakse Balti trükikunsti ja tüpograafia pärandit, sealhulgas ajaloolisi ja kaasaegseid näiteid. 

Konverents tugineb Kultuuriministeeriumi loovuurimuse toetuse (KUM-LU) projekti „Tähtkujud metallis: Eesti trükikunsti identiteet, 1918–1940" esialgsetele tulemustele, laiendades arutelu ka teiste piirkondade perspektiividele.

👉 INVITATION: “Constellations in Metal: An Exploration of Baltic Typographic Identities.” is a one-day conference, taking place on April 24th 2026, from 11.00-18.00 at Estonian Academy of Arts (EKA.) 

👉 Print culture has long been recognised as a driver of new identities (McLuhan 1962). In particular, print media have enabled the imagining of national communities, thereby shaping modern national consciousness (Anderson 2006). Typefaces, as cultural artefacts embedded in books, documents, and ephemera (Shaw 2017), are a tangible expression of this process. This theoretical framework is particularly evident in the Baltic context, seeing typography and identity intertwine throughout history and today. The conference explores this Baltic print and typographic heritage, including historic and contemporary examples. 

It builds on the initial findings of the Ministry of Culture Creative Research Grant (KUM-LU) Constellations in Type: Estonian Print Identity, 1918-1940, while extending the discussion to encompass perspectives from further regions.
