The Softer Project is a collaboration between Elisava design students and Abrazo Cultural, which is a non-profit organisation located in Barcelona. Abrazo Cultural arrange several events and workshops taught by immigrants and refugees.
By sharing these experiences, their goal is to create a deeper understanding and a mutual respect amongts people with different cultural backgrounds in Barcelona.
Together with Abrazo Cultural we worked on a tool to help them reach out to more people, while at the same time adding value when attending the workshops.
This resulted in three textile pieces with a wide range of uses - tools to be used for drumming lessons, dancing, meals and conversations. Visual elements that repeats themselves, regardless of location and activities.
