CONCOURS DE DESIGN D’OBJETS TRADITIONELS BASQUES
Le but de cet appel est de réinterpréter le design d’un objet traditionnel présent dans la culture basque. De cette façon, nous amenons chaque candidat d’une part à rechercher et à intégrer dans son travail la culture basque à travers des coutumes traditionnelles et d’autre part à adapter, à renouveler et à réinterpréter un objet du point de vue du design contemporain. Nous aimerions établir de nouvelles relations avec notre histoire et élargir les lignes de recherche et les champs d’action du design.
La pièce à revisiter dans cet appel est le manka. Voir règlement pour plus d’informations.
Cet appel est ouvert à toute personne ou groupe de tout âge (étudiants, professionnels ou collecifs) dans le domaine du design (design industriel et d’objet, architecture, ingénierie, beaux-arts, etc.). La participation au concours est gratuite.
