'Designing Against Disinformation' Exhibition

Workshop | 22nd April, 2024 (monday), 5pm

Talk | 2nd May, 2024 (thursday), 5pm

@UPTEC Baixa

The present exhibition invites us to consider one of the greatest challenges that scientific knowledge faces today: the dissolution of objective knowledge through ideological agendas and mediations that shape reality based on ideological agendas and individual subjectivities. 

This challenge is accentuated by the fact that scientific and political authorities have been intensifying their rhetoric according to an increasingly ineffective model of factual communication. 

We posit that Communication Design can and should propose alternative ways of approaching scientific knowledge, in order to build dialogues with those who doubt it: because only by learning and employing the language of the "other" can we hope to reach them.
