TypeSHED11 is set to explore the notions and voices of typography – no matter how small or vocal, how grand or local – across the disciplines, in graphic design and advertising, photography, film, literature, architecture, music, the visual arts – and beam it back out to the rest of the world via Typeradio.

A full programme constructed from lectures, workshops, exhibitions and experimental installations will create the possibility for social and intellectual exchange with passionate typographers and designers from about the world – Europe, the Americas, Asia, Pacific, Australia and New Zealand.

Five exceptional guest speakers (to be announced) will punctuate three days of presentations, followed by two days of workshops – all under the one roof at Shed 11 – encircled by satellite events, forums and panels for discussion and debate, evening projections and entertainment. Refreshments each day, a picnic on the wharf, and a cocktail evening will offer the prospect to learn, mix and meet at New Zealand's first ever TypeSHED11.
