In 2024 my tuqtuli project started in the most compelling way. Since then I gave workshops at three festivals, two conferences and a high school in Brussels, Oberau, Berlin, Palo Alto, San Francisco, Kyoto, and Krumbach. I had teaching assignments on this topic at universities in Cologne, Berlin and Kyoto. I also gave a talk about my vision at three conferences.
The most recent tuqtuli talk I gave at the ‘Pendant l’apéro design’ event at the co-working space Le Portemine in Clermont-Ferrand and gave a workshop there the next day. Shortly after, I traveled with my host Loïc Marleix to Paris, where we met up with other people who, like us, are working on and researching pictographic languages.
At the beginning of November, I will be giving a tuqtuli workshop at the Hochschule für Gestaltung (University of Design) in Schwäbisch Gmünd, Germany.
Last year, I got to know Prof Dr Jan-Henning Raff through the dgtf German Society for Design Theory and Research, of which I am a member. Shortly afterwards, we started a bi-monthly round table on research and development in the field of visual communication, the visual circle. The next one will take place on 19 November.
