A—Z is an independent space in Berlin whose mission is to expand the definition of graphic design by rethinking its limits and challenging traditional perceptions. At  a storefront space, located in the heart of the city, inspiring graphic designers are invited to unfold their artistic, conceptual or formally experimental projects. The space also hosts talks, workshops and other events, in partnership with invited designers, initiatives, collectives and institutions worldwide. A—Z is an initiative of book designer Anja Lutz and The Green Box – Kunst Editionen.

By showcasing individuals who are open to transposing the boundaries of their own practices, A—Z establishes a counterpoint to the predominant trends of over-specialization. The idea is to provide an transdisciplinary environment where graphic design enters into dialogue with other areas, such as contemporary art, cultural research and social engagement.

This publication traces documents and celebrates programming at A—Z after a half decade of exhibitions and programming (from 2019 to 2024). For those interested in the history of graphic design at the current moment, and the intersection of graphic design with with public-facing exhibitions, this publication will be both an inspiration and an important document of concrete possibilities.
