Led by the Embassy of Switzerland in the UK, Typoetry showcases the work of 45 artists across 21 venues in the public space in the London Borough of Newham. This project would not have been possible without the strong support of all artists, participating venues, the dedicated team at Newham Council, ECAL/University of Art and Design of Lausanne, the Culture Department at the Embassy and the expert execution by VinylFX.
