Call for entries
MEMORABILIA - designing souvenirs wants to be a call for the evocative power of the objects which have the ability to stimulate our memory. The memory creates a time reciprocity, between past, present and future, and a space reciprocity, between here and elsewhere.
The aim of this call and of the exhibition MEMORABILIA - designing souvenirs is to gather a selection of objects which contain representative and recognizable traces of the history of each designer, of his/her place of birth or living, of his/her ethnic group, of his/her cultural background, in order to offer the public a mosaic of little hints of souvenirs, of ways to the memories.
The call for projects is open to designers and design students of all nationalities, working alone or in a team. The proposed project must concern a functional object which evokes memories, habits and customs, whatever they are: cultural, religious, culinary, etc., through a form, a technique, a material, a use.
Three prizes with a value 5.000,00€ will be given by the international selection committee: a prize will be given to the best object of a designer born or living in Wallonia, one to the best object of a designer born or living in the Euregio Meuse-Rhine area, one to the best object of a participating designer, regardless of where he/she comes from or lives.
