Things that talk Program
BA Major Design Semester
2020/21 SS “Nefisi Tekili” is a project inspired by the Surma tribes living in Ethiopia, intended to investigate their culture and traditions deeply connected to Mother Nature. The natural world is seen as a holy entity, thought to be honored and celebrated through fashion parades and religious rituals where people wear body paintings and elements drawn from earth. Through a series of studies on signs, pattern, colors and textures, a general portrait of their way of living is given.

Things that talk
The course aims to provide tools and method for the graphic design of the image for publishing through field research and the creation of prototypes. Design is mainly intended as narrative, as the ability to reconstruct a logical narrative structure starting from a reasoned combination of acquired elements. We are submerged by an immense quantity of images that are increasingly strident, disharmonious, screamed, multiform and disrespectful; they multiply daily, impose themselves everywhere and take possession of our lives, condition our choices. When there is too much to see, we end up seeing nothing and paradoxically to see better we need to close our eyes.
