Panelists will include Dr. Myroslav Shkandrij, professor emeritus of Ukrainian literature and language at the University of Manitoba; Aliona Solomadina, Kyiv-based graphic designer and researcher; Yurko Gutsulyak, award-winning graphic designer and co-founder of Gutsulyak.Studio; and Alexander Tochilovsky, curator, Herb Lubalin Study Center of Design & Typography at The Cooper Union.
