callout
Industrial Design
2021
callout is a digital and physical experience aiming to fight against microaggressions within educational institutions. It includes a digital platform, an intervention jewelry piece, and a physical environment designed to encourage collective microinterventions between Asian-Canadians, their peers, and school faculties. With the emphasis on individual self-awareness, collective engagement, and knowledge sharing, callout creates inclusive educational spaces for cultural minorities. Collective actions in calling out microaggressions and individual biases build a common understanding of cultural diversity and foster a welcoming environment.
“Let's create macro-scale impacts through micro-scale daily actions through which every individual contributes to the building of inclusive educational environments.”
