About the workshop
We will start from a real situation: an exhibition design about “climate care” for the Viennale 2021 in the MAK Vienna. As part of the workshop, it will be a question of working on a series of animations that will make it possible to explain the role of the citizen in the various issues of the global fight against ecological and social disasters.

Odyssée Khorsandian
A graphic and digital designer from the ESAD of Reims, Odyssée Khorsandian has dedicated her research and creative activity since 2015 to explore the relationship between design and the emerging problems in the social, ecological and political contexts of the contemporary world. Her research and creation experience is traversed by the reflection on the role of the image as support for political communication, as it appears in the public space weaving links between consciousness, memory and engagement of the members of society. Such is the case of her researches on the graphic expressions of the the Iranian revolution.
