We're Close or closed? With the CoVid19 quarantine both terms has acquired new meanings and values. We are locked in, closed in our houses, Isolated from what we’ve considered the reality till now. Closed but close to each others because we're all together in this "nightmare", in this new way of perceiving the reality. We can recap this moment by saying: > We’re all alone together <
Srecko Horvat, a Croatian philosopher, told to The New York Times that the expression "social distancing" (not staying close to avoid virus spreading) is not a good thing. We should say "physical distancing", because in reality this crisis "is bringing us all closer together on a social, mental and emotional level". Coronavirus, Horvat says, also reduces the divisions between old and young, producing a kind of "an international generation".
As a designers we need to communicate this to people to keep them informed and to pointing the finger through the right way to live and see the world. BE CREATIVE, use your talent to make people more informed about the meaning of “Stay Close(d)”. We launched this OPEN CREATIVE CHALLENGE From IED Milano to the world. A lot of designers, Artists and students from every part of the globe sent their vision on the topic in just one week. Students, professional designers, illustrators, teachers. More than 120 submission demonstrate that "We're Close(d)" for real.
We would love to say thank you to all for showing your support to this challenge and to made our IED Students feel part of a bigger community, a united world that can speak and point the finger through design and arts to the real values.
