KISDtalk: "The Walk"

KISDtalks: Theories and Practice of Design , 12. November 2019

This public lecture explores the objects women carry for protection while walking alone. Pink sticky notes were anonymously submitted from women all over the world detailing the objects that they carry. 15 photographs were created as visual representations of the submissions. Rora Blue will detail the process of creating this series, her inspiration, and the stories of some of the women she met.
