Design is a language in constant evolution, capable of translating social, ecological, and cultural tensions into visual forms that speak of our time. From the typographic character to the graphic gesture, each sign can become both a political and poetic act, redefining the boundaries between communication, art, and design. This panel explores design as a critical alphabet, where symbols and visual structures become tools of resistance, care, and collective meaning-making. A reflection on images that reshape our perception of the world, and on those who, through magazines, writing, and architecture, continue to generate new shared imaginaries.
