Situation

This project investigates communication design in the context of nonviolent activism, using methods derived from design research and design anthropology. The aim is to set up a knowledge basis about how nonviolence as an activist practice is reflected in the design of its campaigns. Taking this as a starting point, new insights into the relationship between violence, nonviolence and design should be acquired.
