Diploma project
Spring 2019
Institute of Design
Because of a lack of words, action and tools, the people around a griever tend to disappear. In Norway, grief is often an individual and lonely experience.
Approaching grievers can feel risky and intimidating; the fear of making things worsetends to push people away. We have created an alternative present showing new ways of approaching people in mourning.
We have designed a fictitious chain of events, in Norwegian society, that spans from 2011 to today. Through this project, we want to contribute to a broader conversation about how we cope with grief, and explore new ways of using design to discuss what this discipline can offer.
Our main ambition for this project is to visualize and reflect on the implications design has on social and cultural relations.
