Anja Kaiser, based in Leipzig, Germany, is a researcher and graphic designer. Her approach to the practice of design is deliberately feminist, a position that she approaches from the historical and political point of view. As a feminist of the younger generation, she questions intersectionality and its challenges in a heterogeneous society.
Her practice as a graphic designer is dedicated to supporting feminist and emancipatory projects and sponsors.
More than a retrospective of the young designer, the exhibition makes visible the presence of women and the LBGTQI community: rebellious and confident.
She questions representations and binary norms in society, but also in the culture of graphics.
Writing is integrated into Anja Kaiser’s practice, which allows her to create multi-vocal narratives that mix pop-culture and feminism, in a work that claims solidarity and collaboration as pillars of equality.
Among her clients and commissions are identity creations for feminist or queer initiatives, such as the dgtl fmnsm cyber-feminist event, or the Balance and Cry Baby clubbings, in which she also takes part as a programmer. His resolutely multimedia work is based on text as messages.

About the location

Le Signe, Centre National du Graphisme
1 place Emile Goguenheim, 52000 Chaumont
  • Haute-Marne
  • Grand Est
Chaumont and the poster are bound by a common destiny since the donation of the deputy Gustave Dutailly - nearly 5,000 old posters - in 1905\.
Representative of the «golden age» of the French illustrated poster, the Dutailly collection is one of the main French public collections in the field. The rediscovery of this heritage in the 1980s led to the creation of an international poster festival, followed by a graphic arts festival, which enriched the collection with posters sent to the competition by graphic designers from all continents. Chaumont’s contemporary poster collection now includes approximately 45,000 iconic pieces of the best international poster production in recent decades.
It is on the quality of this collection and the recognition of the festival that developed the project of establishing in Chaumont the first permanent place in France dedicated to graphics. The centre is located on the site of the former Banque de France.
