About:This summer thortful are working with Humanitarian Architecture charity Article 25, hosting a greeting card design competition we’re calling #PositiveNotes. The charity specialise in the design and build of new homes, schools and hospitals, so your cards should be full of positivity, celebrating one of the following themes: New Babies, Teachers or New Home.
Maybe you’ll design a 'New Home' card to mirror the 700 new hurricane-proof homes being rebuilt in Dominica. Maybe a ‘New Baby Girl/Boy' congrats card to reflect Article 25’s building of healthcare facilities – they’re currently creating a full healthcare facility on the island of Montserrat, needed to replace temporary ones in use since a devastating volcanic eruption in the late 90s. Or perhaps you want to wish 'Best of Luck in your New School' to a student attending the newly-built college in Niamey, Niger, where a lack of access to education means schooling lasts on average just 3.5 years.
Since inception in 2004, Article 25 have proudly been part of the arts and design industry in the UK (as well as being an impactful international development charity), and they are supported by the arts world, including such luminaries as Sir Antony Gormley OBE, Sir Paul Smith CH CBE RD, Grayson Perry CBE RA, Banksy, Kaws, Sir David Adjaye & Kengo Kuma, Lord Norman Foster OM, RA. They aim to #MakeDesignMatter, and are happy to prove to the world that humanitarian design and architecture can make a meaningful difference to communities for the long-term.
