- In a Planet of Our Own: an exhibition of projects on sustainability from Art, Design and Media Schools from all six continents
No limits
The objective of the exhibition will be to commemorate the theme of sustainability as practiced across different parts of the world in all its diversity, and to the extent possible, derived as localized solutions. The exhibition will try to feature invited work on sustainability from design schools and design councils to cover all six continents.
We request your participation with work done by you and your students on the theme of sustainability, to be displayed as part of an exhibition named ‘In a Planet of Our Own’. We encourage you to submit design projects that represent the concerns, the contrasts, the experiences, the essence and characteristics connected with sustainability (for example, it could be concerning your individual space, locality, a street, a town, a city or even your country).
These could be based on design work that has already been carried out at your school or work on a subject/topic that you may choose to undertake for this occasion.
Each institution is requested to submit two to four projects on the theme of sustainability that can be displayed on panels of size 3ft width and 4 ft height. The final image could be any of these - collage of images, graphic diagrams, animated still pictures, etc. You could use illustrations, sketches, photos, graphics and typography.
You need to also send us a brief write-up in less than 150 words along with the entry as well as a vision statement in a line on sustainability.
Your submission will be printed and displayed on panels of size 3ft x 4ft.
These panels from Institutions across the six continents will be displayed in an exhibition space of 5000 sq feet.
With each of the above mentioned panels, will be a smaller panel of size 2ft x 6ft with the title of your submission, your write-up on your submission, your vision statement on sustainability, write up about the your institution, the name of the faculty mentors and the names of the students.
The submissions will also be printed in form of a web publication to be released at the time of the exhibition.
