Samuel Salminen (1996, FI) is an Amsterdam based graphic and information designer and researcher.

In his practice he investigates the relationship between language, power, and spatial representation — using typography and design as tools to expose and intervene in systems of control, erasure and territorial inscription. His work spans editorial design, type design and web development, and is often situated at the intersection of the political and the typographic.

• Support the production of the design theoretical discourse of Graphic Design in MENASA around regional archives and accelerate networking and exchange between community members.

• Curate public programs (symposia, publications and exhibitions) that shed light on Graphic Design regional history.
