Primarium: A Case for Cursive, traces the evolution of cursive writing by mapping how stylistic models traveled across the globe and adapted through cultural shifts, technological advances, and pedagogical priorities. This research-based exhibition weaves historical references, contemporary textbooks, and typographic works in a cross-cultural comparison that explores how distinct morphological traits have emerged and been taught across regions that share the Latin script. It resists framing cursive as a relic and presents it as a living practice, where digital tools can serve not as threats, but as companions in sustaining its cultural, educational, and cognitive significance.
