Biography

Kevin Yuen Kit Lo is an Assistant Professor in Communication Design Visual Culture in the Department of Design and Computation Arts at Concordia University. His research focuses on the intersections of graphic design, cultural production, and social change, particularly exploring the material and relational studies of design as a means of fostering greater social and political autonomy. In 2014, Kevin founded the graphic design studio LOKI, which collaborates with community organizations, non-profits, and cultural institutions to support broader movements for social change. The studio has engaged in campaigns against racial profiling and created protest graphics for anti-racist and anti-colonial movements, as well as online platforms for critical journalism. Kevin holds an MA in Typographic Design from the London College of Printing, and has worked in interactive design, advertising, and fashion prior to founding LOKI. He is also a member of the Memefest network and the Justseeds artist co-operative, and is an author of a forthcoming book on dissident graphic practices.
