Aliki Giannakopoulou talks about responsoble research and innovation (RRI)
Responsible Research & Innovation (RRI) is a way of researching that takes a long-term perspective on the type of world in which we want to live. It can strengthen research projects by emphasising openness, transparency, diversity, inclusiveness and adaptation to changes. Essentially, RRI aims to create collaborative frameworks in which citizens engage with scientists, entrepreneurs, decisions makers and other groups to work towards sustainable, ethically acceptable and socially desirable outcomes.
DAY 1 - PARALLEL SESSION 2
PowerPoint presentation delivered by Sally S. Cherry, MT(ASCP) at the OpenSimulator Community Conference 2013. It was included in the Social & Communities track of the Conference.
Conference Session Description
The real life and virtual mission of Community HIV/AIDS Resource Exchange (CHARE Project) is to provide capacity building, technical assistance, training, and social media marketing to enhance the linkage and delivery of HIV/AIDS prevention, education and related services. The Kitely-based component of CHARE Project known as CHARE Village was established to increase the usability and application of OpenSim technology by AIDS service organizations and other public health providers regardless of physical location. As with the real life CHARE Project, the objectives of the virtual-based program are to educate service providers (as well as consumers); enhance the delivery of HIV/AIDS services and resources; expand the organization's outreach; establish collaborative partnerships; earn global recognition for the organization's programs; and encourage behavior change (recognizing AIDS as a chronic disease; not a death threat).

We welcome a range of speakers from business and academia from a range of disciplines within this section and this interdisciplinary approach is the focus. From within my faculty of Creative and Cultural Industries we have examples of world leading research improving the lives of disadvantaged groups
Prof Joan Farrer – Interrreg funded Pontoon – digital skills for female immigrants
Dr Cressida Bowyer – Air Network – using creative methodologies to empower people in communities suffering from poor air quality
From within my own faculty of Creative and Cultural Industries we have examples of world leading interdisciplinary research improving the lives of disadvantaged groups, often dealing with the consequences of human rights contraventions.
Prof Joan Farrer – Interreg funded Pontoon – digital skills for female immigrants
Dr Cressida Bowyer – Air Network – using creative methodologies to empower people in communities suffering from poor air quality
I will provide a few examples of projects using creative practice to address human rights issues, by raising awareness, giving a platform, changing established design and creative processes that could lead to human rights issues and addressing the issues through applied research.
Begin with a project that addresses the Rana Plaza disaster directly.
The 1,281 garments represent the number of Bangladeshi garment workers killed in the Rana Plaza building collapse in 2013, as well as the New Yorkers killed in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in 1911. Both incidents, which happened 102 years apart on different continents, tragically illustrate the dangerous conditions workers who make cheap clothing have faced and continue to face.
Part of a larger exhibition called The Price of Our Clothes at the Perlman Teaching Museum in Minnesota – a collaboration with visual artist Rachel Breen and poet/creative writer, Alison Morse.
Part of a larger exhibition called The Price of Our Clothes at the Perlman Teaching Museum in Minnesota – a collaboration with visual artist Rachel Breen and poet/creative writer, Alison Morse.
The drawing incorporates floor plans of the Triangle Shirtwaist and Rana Plaza factories, as well as shapes of fabric scraps the artists collected during their trip to Bangladesh. Visitors can also call different telephone numbers and listen to sound pieces created by Morse, including recordings of interviews, poems, and sound collages.
Their research process – qualitatative, ethnographic research - from their trip to Dhaka in 2015 can be read on their blog
https://thepriceofourclothes.wordpress.com/ - on their visit they learn of other accidents at factories including the Tazreen Fashion Factory fire of 2002 which killed hundreds of workers but did not reach international attention. The management had left the building and locked the doors. There were no fire safety measures in place. It has been reported that families are still seeking compensation.
The survivors understood the impact that their work could have on raising awareness of their plight.
The dress is project from the Helen Storey Foundation and was created from a decommissioned UNHCR (United Nations High Commission for Refugees) refugee tent that once housed a displaced Syrian family at Za'atari Camp in Jordan, and was gifted to the project by UNHCR. In giving the tent a second life, it endows this public art installation with an unbreakable bond to humanity and represents the importance of nurturing and protecting all people and safeguarding generations to come.
It is a symbol of what it means to be human and the precarious nature of our existence.
The dress has digitally displayed scientific data, which showed us the impact of climate change on our physical world, broadened the dialogue around migration, highlighting the millions of displaced people and the paths they take in search of a better life.
Prof Helen Storey - University of Arts London leading on cross-institutional projects of applied arts-lead social research – continues as designer in residence at the Za’atari refugee camp.
Helen Storey Foundation is a London based, project funded, not for profit arts organisation, creating collaborative work across art, fashion, science, design and technology for social, cultural and education use.
In the field, highlighting the creative acts that define humanity in inhumane conditions. This broom tells so much about the maker and his place in the world. Become eblems that capture imagination.
Engage the creativity of those experiencing violations of their human rights.
Since Helen's first visit to the Za'atari Refugee Camp in 2016, she has co created and delivered a number of projects with Syrian Women and girls. Through collaborative partnerships and informed by direct needs, they have together built upon existing talent and sought to foster increased opportunities for expert skills training, as well explore new creative approaches to enhance enterprise and education. She stresses these projects are as much about what Syrians have to teach us, as they are about us sharing knowledge, training and opportunity.
These include a soap and perfume and beauty product development projects, skills workshops for entrepreneurial and creative women and education and training for young girls – TIGER girls These Inspiring Girls Enjoy Reading
PLATFORMS
UK based organisation Passion for Freedom – platform for artists, journalists, writers, filmmakers
Passion for Freedom organises an annual international arts competition and exhibition on human rights and freedom of speech. This facilitates open, critical discussion about the value of freedom and the risk of losing it. Through exhibitions, seminars and workshops, Passion for Freedom creates space for artists, writers and the public to explore subjects and themes often omitted from mainstream artistic discourse.
Art Works Project is a Chicago based initiative to use design and the arts to raise awareness of and educate the public about significant human rights issues.
VISUAL ADVOCACY
through exhibitions, books, recordings, films and more – look for hosts for their exhibitions and invite collaborators.
A project from 2012
Changing creative practices and new disciplinary areas
We use design to imagine and build the world we need to live in – one that is safe and just.
My one criticism of these principles is that they are worded in such a way to assume that designers do not already exist in marginalised or violated communities.
Free online zines – breaks down and details the principles – a great educational tool.
