Participatory design for social change project.
Worked with impoverished Argentinean recyclables collector [Cartonero] to design and develop cost effective collection system and marketing/business documents that could be produced from found materials. The project was intended to provide a template that could be used to empower the user. Providing them with the opportunity to develop and market their ideas in an easily accessible format.
The bag and supporting system was co-designed by the client; Diego. A 21 year old cartonero from an outlying shanty-town of Buenos Aires.
