un-known findings in gender & diversity
yesterday – today – tomorrow
We will take part in the »school of not knowing« project, developing the design of new didactic tools to collectively interrogate, from different points of view, our relationship with the known, the unknown, the hidden, the buried, to question representations as well as the ways in which knowledge is transmitted, to try to imagine how design can give visibility to what is not visible, make perceivable what apparently is not, see what we cannot see.
Our overall topic will be the field of gender & diversity, you will work in teams of 3 students, research content to your self-chosen theme and create an infographic in the given format. We will work together on the design of the infographics and you will present your topic in weekly sessions, after having researched about didactic tools/design in general.
»School of not knowing / scuola del non sapere«, is a project with students from different schools in European countries, initiated by Civic City. Ruedi and Vera Baur, european designers and initiators, will give an introduction/overview to the project, online or at KISD. In the end there will be an exhibition of chosen panels from all participating schools in Paris at the Musée des Arts et Métier. (more info: http://civic-city.org/nonsapere)
Exhibition in Paris is planned for the end of January, beginning of February. Travel has to be done individually, and will not be financed by KISD. (not all panels will be chosen)
Skills: interest in gender&diversity, infographics, knowledge of standard layout programs as illustrator and indesign would be great, but not mandatory.
