We invite you to participate and showcase design projects done by your school/institute on the theme of sustainability as part of an exhibition titled 'Design Carnival' during Cumulus Mumbai 2015.
The projects will be displayed as posters and exhibited at the conference venue.
The objective of the exhibition will be to commemorate the theme of sustainability as practiced across different parts of the world in all its diversity, and to the extent possible, derived as localized solutions.
(It is not essential, but if the projects are related to sustainability with focus on water, it would be great).
We encourage you to submit design projects that represent the concerns, the contrasts, the experiences, the essence and characteristics connected with sustainability (for example, it could be concerning your individual space, locality, a street, a town, a city or even your country).
The project could also be from any of these fields - product, communication, textiles, fashion, interaction, service, environment, etc.
These could be based on design work that has already been carried out at your institute or work on a subject/topic that you may choose to undertake for this occasion.
Each institution is encouraged to submit two to four projects on the theme of sustainability that can each be displayed on panels of size 3ft width and 4 ft height. The final image could be any of these - collage of images, graphic diagrams, animated still pictures, etc. You could use illustrations, sketches, photos, graphics and typography.
Your submission will be printed and displayed on panels of size 3ft width and 4 ft height and these will be displayed in an exhibition space of 5000 sq feet. With each of the above mentioned panels, will be a smaller panel of size 2ft x 2ft with the title of your submission, your write-up on your submission (150 words), your vision statement on sustainability (one line), write up about the your institution (100 words), the name of the faculty mentors and the names of the students.
The submissions will also be printed in form of a web publication to be released at the time of the exhibition.
The institutes can decide to do this exercise across a week or fortnight as part of a workshop, or as part of a credited course. We request the faculty members to mentor the students in this endeavor.
