After the presentation of the projects carried out within the “Design and production house – Factory of the arts”held last Friday in the same institute (here is the news), the editorial team interviewed the protagonists of these experiences to discover more details, but above all to grasp the ideas and awareness of young people.
For the scientific journal SMartS, designed by Professor Perillo and original for being there first of its kind in Italy, also equipped with a dedicated website, they expressed themselves Maria Pappagallo, Myriam Modugno, Chiara Paparella , who described the premises of the work, the research phases and the topics covered. «We have made English the first language of the magazine’s website, precisely to disseminate our contents abroad – they say – we hope that it can always represent a space for exchange for this new approach to art».
Instead they were Irene De Gennaro And Niki Tritos to talk about de-construction of already existing advertising with a view to eliminating stereotypes. A work that led to the revisiting of the Magnum company campaign. «We analyzed various advertising campaigns and it emerged that the subjects most affected by prejudice are women – they explain – we associated three women with different characteristics to the colours, and therefore the flavours, of Magnum ice creams. Subsequently, the slogan “Enjoy the diversity“: At our age, setting an example is a gratification. We also discovered capabilities we didn’t think we had.”
Chanel Saracino And Paola Mongelli instead they became spokespersons for the experience of design and create disposable placemats for catering (which will actually be used in a Molfetta activity). «We researched information on the food and culture of both the Eastern and Western world – they illustrate – then we collected our ideas to create placemats with a playful function, so that children can draw and color instead of being distracted by digital activities».
It was then up to Federica Rutigliano And Maria Luisa Salvemini talk about the birth of the game of the goose”We recycle Molfetta“, which combines environment, recycling and play. «For us it was interesting to apply the knowledge learned in various subjects to the creation of a board game – they say – we combined the rules of an already existing game with the proposed themes, creating an original game that we tested on our class and then designed».
“It is a learning aimed at relating to reality – declared Professor Minervini – as well as tangible proof of an interdisciplinary approach”.
Professor Perillo’s words are on the same wavelength. «These initiatives create important relationships with the outside world both at a local and global level”.
Below are the complete video interviews.
