Within the NUDGES project, The Museum of Humor and Satire is going to launch an artistic contest for the creation of designs aiming to nudge citizens into reconsidering the way we all reuse and recycle materials. The competition will be held in two age categories: adults and teenagers, and will allow the contestants to draw inspiration and knowledge from their participation in 3 different activities.
The concept for this project stems from our expert observation (and concern) that the already-existing artworks on the topic of ecology are not necessarily funny and/or serve the purpose of inspiring people to take actions and make a change in their daily lives. Since The Museum of Humor and Satire is participating in the NUDGES project as the eyesight, by creating opportunities to show / face the real challenges we will metaphorically open the eyes of designers which will then open the eyes of citizens for the existing climate challenges through experience-based artworks. Together with this, we are expecting to plant the seed in the young generation by inviting teenagers (highly influenced by fast fashion and the waste it creates) to also participate with their ideas for designs.
We are currently building the plane while we are flying or in other words – our pilot project will take off after Christmas. The nearest next step is, joined by our Associated Partner – RAM “Central Stara Planina”, to meet all our project partners for the first time face to face in beautiful Zagreb and get even more inspired and empowered for the power of visuals.
Stay tuned for information about the contest launch!
