Isotype at Design4Health

Isotype-Fighting-TB

Sue Walker curated a small exhibition at the Design4Health conference at Sheffield Hallam University 13–16 July 2015.

‘Isotype: Fighting tuberculosis’ showed full-size examples of some of the 20 ‘educational charts’ produced in the 1930s for the National Tuberculosis Association in the USA.

The charts were well-received. Conference participants, comprising academics and health practitioners, commented that both the content and the style of presentation were relevant today.
