Memefest e eventos

Há mapas para publicar aqui, produzidos no encontro em Nijmegen, Holanda, em junho. Um deles ganhará uma versão digital interativa, os outros foram impressos em camisetas. São maneiras experimentais de visualizar conflitos.

Outras visualidades e pesquisas cartográficas, à maneira situacionista, têm ganhado espaços de experimentação e vivências pelo Rio: o Laboratório de Cartografias Insurgente…

Design that can impact a society’s stigma on housing

The housing titanic – The big ship in communicating to influence the public stigma of affordable housing.

Australia has an ingrained belief that owning a home is essential to their wellbeing, stability and being a responsibility citizen in our society. This is mainly due to the fact that it has been possible in the past. Yet with our changing world this expectation is fading fast. In its wake …

Communicate, Reproduce.

Tell me what you want, but there's a megaload of people in the world who is obsessed with reproduction. Spreading their own selves forever, that is, in the most traditionally fisiological way we can think of. The way of the flowers and the bees, the XXs and the XYs and so on. You know.

The Issue of the 100% Male Conference Panel

I was one who asked the male panel at Memefest's Festival of Radical Communications 'Inspiration day' why there were no women presenters.
