Militant Design. Graphic manifest<\/span><\/h4>\nMilitant (adjective and substantive): one who militates, fights, takes sides in the defense of a party or a cause, who combats for something, who defends actively a cause or an active movement. Design can be used not only to \u201csolve problems\u201d but also it can infer in social processes, create reflection and influence actions. The designer, whether he wants it or not, is a political agent once his\/her work participates in the social metabolism, is related with actions of consumption, educative processes, direct political actions or initiatives of cultural incentive. Keeping in mind that no design can be neutral, the ideology from which it is designed is decisive in the scope and the appreciation of the object designed. For that reason, knowing the impact of his\/her professional practice, the conscious designer can and must assume his\/her social responsibility. The \u201cmilitant graph\u201d generally is in the streets, mixed with urban art, in different forms: posters, stickers, grafitis, paint on buildings and usually walks by the side of civil disobedience, a lot of times in a clandestine way and occupying extra-official space, prohibited.<\/p>\n
What are you starving for? Starting with this sentence, which is also a verse of a Brazilian song, the proposition of this workshop is in the partisan-political beliefs. It is about creating graphic pieces of any format or technique, but feasible with the conditions of the workshop. Themes for creative development emanate from social values: that incentivize peaceful coexistence between people, diminution of violence, inclusive society for classes, ethnicities and genders, respect of human and animal rights, citizen participation in policy-making, environmental protection, respectful commercial practices. The emphasis is in the promotion of a critical, conscious and ethic design.<\/p>\n
