FABRICA AND YOURS - YOUTH FOR ROAD SAFETY AGAINST ROAD ACCIDENTS
May 03, 2011

Fabrica conceived the awareness campaign and the branding for YOURS - Youth for Road Safety, a new No Profit Organization created by young people and born under the auspices of UNWHO. The campaign will be officially presented on Wednesday 11 May 2011, for the launch of the Decade of Action for Road Safety event. A truly global event, national and local launches in every time zone of the world will combine with one message: It is Time for Action.  
 
A 24-hour "rolling" event will begin in the East and travel to the West across a one-day period. In each of the world's 24 time zones, one or several countries will take the lead in organizing a high-profile, media-oriented event. It is hoped that heads of state and ministers from various sectors of society will show their commitment to scaling up road safety efforts. Select national events will be broadcast by Internet time zone by time zone, with a certain number of the events being broadcast live. Ideally, every country of the world, many international agencies, civil society organizations, the private sector and others will mark the occasion of the global launch to officially announce their national or local plans for the Decade to the public.

May 03, 2011

Fabrica and RIT (Rochester Institute of Technology) announce the exhibition “Looking Back, Designing Forward”, which is opening on May 7 at the RIT – Vignelli Center for Design  Studies during the RIT Imagine Festival and will be going until 21 May. The exhibition features fifty works of art and design, inspired by past and future advancements of humanity between 2000 and 2020.
 
This exhibition is the result of a two-month interdisciplinary research project in the areas of Innovation Design, Engineering, Communication Design, Product Design, Interaction Design, Video and Photography.
 
“Looking Back, Designing Forward” has a dual intention: first, to “look back” and identify, comment and celebrate humanity’s most radical and disruptive social, cultural, scientific, economical, political and environmental advancements of the turbulent past ten years. Second, to “design forward” to foresee, comment and celebrate the most important and evolutionary advancements that may occur in the ten years to come. Both the research project and the final exhibition aim to celebrate humanity’s innate perseverance for progressive change.
