Primarium: A Case for Cursive

Primarium: A Case for Cursive traces the global evolution of cursive writing. Through historical references, textbooks and contemporary typographic works, the exhibition explores how cursive has adapted to changes in culture, technology and education.

Rather than framing it as a dying art, Primarium presents cursive as a living, evolving practice—one in which digital tools become collaborators in keeping its cultural, educational and cognitive relevance alive.

July 5–October 31, HMCT Gallery
Opening reception: Thursday, July 3, 6:30–9:30 p.m.

Join us for a special talk with Veronika Burian and José Scaglione of the independent type foundry TypeTogether as they share their research into global handwriting instruction through their project Primarium. Free and open to the public.
Wednesday, July 2, 7–8 p.m., HMCT Gallery
