L’ECOLE DU NON-SAVOIR / CIVIC CITY
This collaborative design initiative, launched by Civic‑City in partnership with Ruedi and Vera Baur, CNAM’s Design Jean Prouvé Chair, Institut Français, and École Estienne, gathers over 30 art and design schools globally. Its purpose is to explore how design can make the invisible visible—revealing hidden, overlooked, or unspoken dimensions of our world.
SEE WHAT WE CANNOT SEE
This project explored how design can make the invisible visible—giving form to what’s overlooked, marginalized, or intangible. Through infographics and service design, the goal was to highlight what often goes unnoticed and to give voice to those who are excluded, invisible, or dismissed—whether in reality or in virtual spaces.
We organized a series of three workshops around Gender, Identity, and Sustainability, aiming to open up dialogue on subjects that are often avoided or oversimplified. With Vera and Ruedi Baur from Civic City joining as guest speakers and facilitators, the sessions encouraged participants to question assumptions and engage deeply with each topic’s complexities.
Out of these discussions, our group focused on the gender gap in medicine. We set out to create a visual piece aimed at younger audiences—particularly girls—that could communicate critical disparities in healthcare. Drawing from the Vitruvian Man, and informed by our lived experiences as women, we created the Vitruvian Woman—a symbolic and educational infographic that exposed the systemic neglect of women, especially women of color, in medical research and treatment.
Our infographic was in the end selectionned to be published in the Civic-City Cahier as well as to be part of the opening exhibition of the project at l’Ecole Estienne in Paris.
