Marta Reina
PhD Student / Polytechnic University of Milan
PhD student in Design, she collaborates with the research group “dcxcg” (communication design for gender cultures) from Politecnico di Milano, Dipartimento di Design. Her research focuses on the relations between Design, representation and gender. Publications on books: “Una lettura della dimensione di genere negli artefatti comunicativi per la formazione di una conoscenza critica” (Il Poligrafo, 2016)
The starting question is: what we have to know before design artefact or initiative to contrast gender stereotypes?
The aim of the workshop is twofold. On one hand it permits to learn to co-design using an innovative dialogical method, the dialogue and the comparison with different opinions are the tool to acquire new knowledge. On the other hand, it offers the opportunity to delve into gender issues, in particular, the study of the social and cultural construction of gender identities and differences.
After a methodological introduction, the participants work divided into groups to explores the contents and to elaborates ideas, concepts and hypothesis for a practice intervention.
In the first phase of the workshop are expected dialogue sessions to increase the participation and the collective nature of projecting; to enlight the main beliefs of the single speaker on a topic, convergent or divergent respect of the others. Finally, the group work on the individuation and ideation of hypothesis to be transformed into project guidelines.
In the second phase, the participants work on process and tools to set up communication actions of cultural jamming with different communication tools and from diverse cultural area (writing, visual design, events, intervention in public structure, media transmission, public shows, etc.)
