Conférences
Exhibiting, taking part
The mission of these conferences is not to illustrate History of the Arts classes, but claims a specific status, a somewhat provocative one. Thus, the topics they cover are not limited thematically : plastic art and graphic art, poetry, music, photography, the movies, dancing, design, fashion, town planning, comic trips, etc. The main purpose of the conferences is to offer a platform for contemporary design and, particularly, they offer the opportunity for direct contact between designers and students.
