In the bustling streets of India, every local thoroughfare is an exquisite canvas, adorned with a myriad of typefaces and fonts, a graphic designer's dream come alive. Tanya George, an independent typographer and design maestro, has not only recognized this typographic treasure trove but also transformed it into an immersive experience through her Typewalks around Mumbai. As a pioneer in the exploration of street typography, Tanya invites enthusiasts to traverse the vibrant streets of Colaba on February 3rd, unraveling the nuances and stories embedded in the city's typography.

Beyond the bustling streets, Tanya George extends her creative prowess into a typography and craft workshop on February 4th. This workshop isn't just a class; it's an opportunity for participants to delve into the artistry of crafting their own alphabets and fonts under the guidance of a seasoned typographic virtuoso. Tanya's expertise, coupled with her passion for the art of letterforms, promises a weekend filled with insights, hands-on experiences, and a deeper appreciation for the typography that shapes our urban narrative.

Tanya George's contributions extend beyond the streets and workshops; she is also a featured artist in the ongoing sans sentense exhibition at Gallery XXL. Alongside various graphic designers and type artists, Tanya's work is a visual exploration of language, its visualizations, and the unique perspectives it offers. The exhibition delves into the intricacies of expression, investigating the relationship between language, the ineffable, the body, and time. As a critically acclaimed typographer, Tanya George's involvement in sans sentense adds a layer of expertise to an already profound exploration of the politics of language, the reduction and deconstruction of letters, and the role of language in shaping our social fabric. The exhibition is not merely an art display; it is a journey into the very essence of linguistic and visual expression, an inquiry into what defines, lacks, and exceeds in the diverse realms of language.
