Join us for a talk by Anežka Minaříková on the making of Clara Istlerová: A Life Among Letters (Inventory Press, 2025), the first English-language publication dedicated to Czech graphic designer Clara Istlerová (b. 1944). A pioneering figure in Czech graphic design, Istlerová is celebrated for her distinctive book covers, calligraphy, and expressive use of type that helped shape the visual culture of postwar Czechoslovakia. At the heart of the book is a candid conversation between Istlerová and Minaříková, unfolding across decades of cultural and political transformation. With contributions from design historian Jan Rous and graphic designer Zuzana Lednická, and featuring rare archival material, the book offers an intimate portrait of a woman whose work quietly defined an era. In this talk, Minaříková will share the process of bringing the book to life—from her first encounters with Istlerová’s work to the interviews, archival research, and editorial design. The result is not only a tribute to Istlerová’s lasting contributions to the field, but also a broader meditation on design as a cultural and collaborative practice. Anežka Minaříková (b. 1993, Prague) is a Czech graphic designer and visual artist based in New York. Her work explores the edges of graphic design through experiments with typography, storytelling, technology, and cross-disciplinary collaboration. She is the author of Clara Istlerová: A Life Among Letters (Inventory Press, 2025) and editor of Mysterious Letters (Letter Books, 2023), a collection of essays and interviews on the Voynich Manuscript. Minaříková holds a BA from the Academy of Arts, Architecture, and Design in Prague and an MFA from the Yale School of Art. From 2022 to 2024, she was a resident at Google Creative Lab. She recently co-founded an independent design studio with her husband and creative partner, Marek Nedelka.

Central Park is very fun. There are large lawns and many squirrels running around. You can rent bicycles and ride horse-drawn carriages in the park. It is also nice to just walk around. There is a huge children&#39;s playground not far from Columbus circle. Children from all over the world who come to New York come here to play. They can play in the sand and water, and there are slides, swings, and rockeries. It is easy to play for half a day. There are also many people playing on the lawn. Many people there like to throw frisbees. Many families come here for vacation. It doesn&#39;t get dark until about 8:30 in the summer in the United States, so it&#39;s no problem to play in the park for a whole day!

Very good Bronx Zoo, one of the must-see places in New York. I really like the facilities and garden design here. It is beautiful and friendly to watch. We didn&#39;t see many animals because it was raining.

Bryant Park

泰迪小熊

Came here on September 20, 2017.

Bryant Park is adjacent to the New York Public Library. It is named after the American naturalist poet William Cullen Bryant and is a public space covering one block.

In the middle of the park is a large square lawn; on the east side is a statue of Bryant, with his back against the New York Public Library, looking at the tourists in the park; on the west side of the lawn is a fountain; and around it are a circle of tables and chairs for tourists to relax and rest.

Perhaps because it is in a busy city and next to the library, there are quite a lot of tourists in the park, it is very lively and full of life.
