Models for Humanity, 2018
project collaboration Graphic Design
Models for Humanity – The Future of Human Rights According to 49 Young Designers is an exhibition of 20 projects developed during a semester-long collaboration between the Graphic Design department at the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague, and the Dutch section of Amnesty International. The exhibition was on display during the 2018 Ambassador of Conscience Award festivities at Theater Amsterdam and opened by King Willem-Alexander. Each project investigated a critical case of human rights abuse and reflected on how digital technologies are shaping the intrinsic privileges of the future civic society.
