About Belli Talk

“Belli Talk” is a series of events focused on contemporary graphic design, hosted and curated by Belli Gallery. With the aim of creating a direct dialogue within the design scene, we set a series of meetings that will run in parallel with the gallery exhibitions.

Talking about the field and the people that make it alive, we’ll try to figure out what’s going on in graphic design and what’s going to happen in the upcoming future. A lot of questions and just few answers about the role of the graphic designer today and its life beyond the job. Internationally known guests are invited the share their experiences, stories and secrets, from a professional, artistic and human point of view.
