Calling a design studio colourblind seems like anti-advertisement. But the name is the major guidline to alternative methods. Conventionally colour blindness is perceived as a handicap. But with a change of perspective a handicap can be understood as a positive tool to make a significant difference in how we deal with our social contexts. This approach is significant for Putri’s and Andreas’ visual strategies: try to see the positive side of disadvantages, of black spots, of the unnormal and unusual to trigger alternatives in our visual world.

african divination as a creative tool
Through the use of tools one can experiment with thinking patterns that sometimes
stifle the development of ideas. One way of investigating new thinking patterns is
through the use of divinatory techniques. Andreas Gerolemou grown up in South Africa
had insights in African traditions of divination and fortune telling from early age
on. Within a design context he introduces the divinatory method of the Sangoma as an
alternative brainstorming method for any kind of creative process.

cooking with infographics
How does one communicate using visuals only? Putri Sadiqah focusses on storytelling
in visual graphics: in this case put into the context of a graphically illustrated
Indonesian cookbook. We are all more sensible in reading pictures. By using food, we
all get a chance to experiment with infographics in an interactive environment.
Free entrance to both workshops, registration is required via think@colourblind.cc
10 spots available for participation per workshop.
