FROM: OVERLOOKED HATE SPEECH
TO: A DYSTOPIA YOU CAN’T IGNORE
In 2017, we witnessed the ongoing refugee crisis in Calais and the unchecked hateful rhetoric from political and media elites. It was something we couldn’t ignore.
So we created NEXGEN CORP — a piece of design fiction that imagines a future where the words of today become the products of tomorrow.
Are words important?
Can they shape the future?
This project invites you to consider exactly that.
The ‘Daughter Defender’
A chastity belt based upon the quotes from Geert Wilders and Milo Yiannopoulos that refugees are rapists.
The ‘Plague Protector’
A plague mask based upon an article from the Telegraph that claimed refugees are bringing a plague with them.
The ‘Refugee Repellent’
A bug spray based on quotes from David Cameron and Katy Hopkins that refugees are like a swarm of bugs.
