Body, mind and printed matter: Angela Lian on how she exercises creative muscles as well as her body’s

Chinese-Taiwanese artist co-founder of It’s Happening Angela Lian joined us on our New York Nicer Tuesdays stage in June – and she made it very clear that one thing is a constant through all of her work: pain. The artist centres chronic pain and illness in her work (like many designers, she’s always dealing with posture issues and back pains!) and she delivered a brilliant talk on how her work exercises not just her creative muscles but her body’s too, revealing how her design work at Baggu brings together the clear-minded and the beautifully printed.
