Join us in the COMD Studio (C3215) on Wednesdays from 11:35 am to 12:20 pm to explore the stories paper can tell. Each of the four weeks features a different theme, with casual gallery-style viewing and open discussion around the show-and-tell items contributed by community members.
Bring something from your own collection, or simply come to browse and converse. Whether you’re interested in design, publishing, or cultural storytelling, Ephemera at Noon is a chance to slow down and appreciate the everyday paper forms shaping our visual culture.
Brought to you the organizing team including Katherine Gillieson, Gabe Wong, Natalie Gagnon, Maria Goncharova, Emilie Jingyi Liu (MDes 2026), Brendan Denesiuk (MDes 2026), and Wenrui Liu (MDes 2027).
