The event will feature Aiman Husainy Irsyad as the keynote speaker. In this session, Aiman will discuss, from a practical perspective, how culture can influence ways of thinking, creative processes, and ultimately shape visual styles in art and design.
The discussion will focus on Japanese visual culture and how the mindset and cultural background of Japanese society have evolved to influence the characteristics of art, illustration, graphic design, and aesthetics that are widely recognized today. In addition to exploring the history and development of Japanese culture, the material will also be connected to relevant design practices that students can apply in their own creative processes.
