… for acceptance and diversity.
In the first part of the project we will develop together with students of the Holon Institute of Technology a sign, a symbol against racism and anti-Semitism and for acceptance of all people, regardless of age, sexual orientation, religion and skin colour.
In cooperation with the Israeli students, we will approach the topic and the existing signs from the perspective of both cultures and beyond through research, analysis, comparison and evaluation. Based on the findings, you will develop and elaborate your own proposals for a sign/symbol that can be used internationally.
From 1 – 9 May 2023, we will continue our work in Israel at the University of Holon (near Tel Aviv), complete it and present the results in an exhibition and publication.
In the second part of the project you will work with pictograms, complex sign and writing systems and create your own visual systems and interpretations. These are then to be implemented in a suitable form, according to your own concept.
Please note the following: Funds have been requested for flight costs and accommodation, but all project participants must expect to pay a small contribution of their own to finance their stay in Israel.
A high level of motivation and willingness to work is required for the project. For participation in the project, please send a letter of motivation to my e-mail address: michael.gais@th-koeln.de.
