At community-driven conversations during TypeLab Asia, Pooja gave a talk about India Street Lettering that emphasised that photographing street signs is only the first step in the making of this archive. She explained her work of annotating and geo-tagging the images she captures, and how that helps identify patterns and paradigms that inspire deeper engagement and research, which in turn form the bed rock of outreach activities like type walks and zines. Pooja also showcased physical pedagogical tools she is experimenting with, such as the manuscript-format zine pictured below, which offers an interactive way to engage with the archive in classroom environments.
