Shades of Noir digital campaign
A collaboration with Claudia Sin for Shades of Noir ‘Disabled people, The Voice of Many’ digital campaign.
“Disabled people, the voice of many” is the digital campaign topic that we chose to work on. The result is a series of animated gifs featuring different fabric pieces with hand drawn figures and graphics, in response to rising awareness for both visible and invisible disabilities among our diversified community.
Hand-drawn figures with variable geometrical shapes represent the diversity in our bodies and identities, contrasting the common representation of uniformed “female and male” disability signages.
Graphical elements such as eyes, mouth, ear and hands were drawn to represent common visible disability. Abstract doodles lines were drawn to represent invisible disability such as dyslexia, ADHD, this is inspired by South Korean artist Seohye Lee’s illustration “Sphere of Sound”, which she uses abstract lines to represent sound.
“The Social model of Disability” is the starting point of our research for this project. It is the current society that is disabling people with impairments rather than the impairments themselves.
With the lack of diversity and positive models in our current representations for disability, it is important that we, as art students, enrich the artistic representations for disability and the social model of disability.
