Even before Singapore’s independence in 1965, there is a rich history of graphic design that most people are unaware of until Justin Zhuang – writer and researcher – collaborated with H55’s Creative Director Hanson Ho to produce Independence: The History of Graphic Design In Singapore Since The 1960s. Zhuang’s interest in design, cities, culture, history and media makes him a prominent figure in the arts particularly Singapore, where he also runs a digital platform called Singapore Graphic Archive that gathers the country’s graphic design to aid research and discussions on design and culture in Southeast Asia.
