Art in Dialogue at Lehigh University Art Galleries
I was invited by Lehigh University Art Galleries and the Department of Art, Architecture & Design (AAD) to give a public lecture about my work and research as a part of their Art in Dialogue series. The title of my talk was “Diasporican: Design Perspectives on Identity and Culture”. Additionally, I did a workshop with students in Professor Maurizio Masi’s Publication Design class and Professor Jenny Kowalski’s Graphic Design Intermediate Studio class.

In this talk, Puerto Rican designer and educator Jason Alejandro will share his insights into his hybrid practice as a graphic design educator and researcher. Jason’s experience as a book designer underpins his approach to developing creative work focusing on Puerto Rico’s history, language, and identity. In addition, he will provide some recent research into the life and work of famed Puerto Rican artist and designer Lorenzo Homar.
