TGM × Fillin Guas × Jiri Oplatek
A Typographic Talk Series Exploring Creative Intersections
On May 20th, 2025, the ongoing TGM lecture series continues with an evening shaped by cross-disciplinary exchange and creative synergy—this time featuring Fillin Guas and Jiri Oplatek. Hosted at the Faculty of Design, Munich University of Applied Sciences, the event promises to open new spaces for typography and design—literally and metaphorically.
As part of the 2025 series Wechsel Wirkung, the event brings together design veterans and digital natives in a format that thrives on dynamic interaction. Each lecture is a one-of-a-kind experience, shaped by the setting and the personalities involved. Whether through design, architecture, editorial work, technology—or even culinary arts—the series explores how typography connects disciplines, ideas, and people.
Jiri Oplatek brings decades of experience to the stage. A graduate of the Basel School of Design (1999), he co-founded the design studio Claudiabasel in 2003. His work—ranging from posters and books to full-scale identity systems—has left a mark on cultural institutions such as Theater Basel, Museum Tinguely, and Kieler Woche. Since 2012, Oplatek has also served as a lecturer at HGK Basel and, in 2018, became a member of the Alliance Graphique Internationale (AGI).
Doors open at 19:00 in the large lecture hall X2.022 on the 2nd floor at Lothstrasse 17. Easily reached by tram via Hochschule München/Dachauer Straße, the event begins at 19:30. Admission is free for students! Design for the event is by Paula Weege, Jakob Stengel, and Leo Schmidt.
TGM × X × X is more than a lecture series—it’s an evolving conversation where disciplines intersect, inspire, and amplify each other!
