RELATED DEPARTMENT is an independent graphic design practice established in Shanghai in 2017. With a proactive approach, the studio focuses on post-Internet and post-colonial contexts within image-making processes and typographic presentations. Through deconstructing the entanglement between design, intention and spectatorship, RELATED DEPARTMENT engages in collective reflections on social discourses. By utilising various media, conducting academic research and undertaking design experiments, they strive to continuously redefine the imaginative boundaries of their discipline.
