Variable Perspectives
Empathy-generating Design
Milan Design week
9 - 14 April 2019
An unconfortable Setup
An experiential path where the visitor is pushed into an environment specifically created to make them experience some situations, practical and emotional, daily lived by wheelchair users.
An un-comfortable setting for everyone, which thanks to its interactivity will let you sense on your skin the feeling of living in an inadequate environment.
Being measured at the entrance, not being able to see a picture in the exhibition, having to ask for help to open a door, are some of the experiences that the visitor of “Variable Perspectives” is facing. These uncomfortable and sometimes frustrating experiences are the normality for a person in a wheelchair. The visitor discovers new perspectives thanks to an itinerary capable of generating empathy through various situations. The path is not based on invalidating images but rather an alternative concept to promote the birth of new points of view.
Inclusive Design Exhibition
Empathy, a first step towards inclusive design.
4 projects will be exhibiting together with Prospettive Variabili.
Call for Sponsors
We are looking for companies interested in contributing to the success of the event while promoting their social activeness. If Interested, please contact:
The
Team
The exhibition is the brainchild of Fabrizio Marta – President of the Rotellando Social Promotion Association and
wheelchair – bound serial traveller - to build an experience in which the visitor perceives the perspective
of those with mobility problems.
The challenge was taken up by Liat Rogel,
designer and Social Design lecturer, which brought together
a multidisciplinary team of professionals (designers, architects, illustrators, programmers, photographers).
