Roles: Initiator, project management, social design, art direction, 3D and graphic design

Mobile installation developed together with De Zuidpoort vzw and supported by Design Museum Gent.

The project grew out of a simple question: how can design support the important work of social workers and help bring citizens closer to decision-making?

The project was developed on two levels: together with residents of Nieuw Gent, we explored and tested different ways of participating and voting, based on their experiences and needs. I then translated these insights into the concept, visual identity and 3D installation - designing a mobile, playful space for participation.

Het Beste Burgerkot also aims to build a bridge between people experiencing poverty and the institutions that shape our society - creating a space where different voices can meet, connect and be heard.

What looks like a playful burger stand becomes an
accessible place to gather voices, share ideas, and reach voices that are less frequently heard.
