Human to Human started out as a school project during my Master's degree at the Design School Kolding. We wanted to explore the topic of loneliness due to discrimination in the LGBTQA+ community. Our challenge was: how might we reduce discrimination by re-defining the sexual norms and create compassion, using storytelling? I was one of the lead graphic designers.
As a part of the process, we conducted multiple interviews and workshops with people from the LGBTQA+ community, where we collected 31 personal stories about stigma and stereotypes based on sexuality. The outcome was interactive Human to Human website, where we shared the audio files of the stories being read out loud. Our goal was to create awareness and show that we are all humans behind the labels.
Human to Human project was the Distributed Design to Improve Life competition finalist, which enabled us to participate in two exhibitions in Copenhagen in the summer of 2021.
