This exhibition, produced in collaboration with the Van Abbe Museum, showcases eighteen thought-provoking design research projects by Design Academy Eindhoven alumni. STBY\u2019s design researchers Shay Raviv and Dorota Gazy both graduated from the Design Academy Eindhoven, and collaborated with our Reach partners Studio Jos\u00e9 de la O in Mexico City and Quicksand in Bangalore to investigate local waste realities.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stby.eu\/wp_15\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/bag-with-title-gif-square.gif\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9751\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stby.eu\/wp_15\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/bag-with-title-gif-square.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" \/><\/a><em>Left: Studio Pim Top, Right: Studio Jos\u00e9 de la O, Quicksand<\/em><\/p>\n<p><b>The blurry lines between between formal and informal systems\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Waste-pickers perform between 50 and 100 percent of waste collection in most cities in developing countries, according to the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat). This informal way of waste management fills the gap where official systems are failing, and provides a livelihood for millions of people.<\/p>\n<p>There are an estimated 15 million waste pickers currently operating around the world. Traditionally seen as tokens of the informal economy and often stigmatised, over the past ten years they have begun to organise themselves, seeking recognition, protection and workers\u2019 rights. However, there are downsides to becoming a more regulated industry.<\/p>\n<p><b>Using objects to expose complex structures\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In collaboration with our Reach partners Studio Jos\u00e9 de la O and Quicksand, STBY conducted a global investigation that delves into the changing worlds of waste pickers in Mexico City and Bangalore. Together we uncovered the networks, actors and structures that span the blurry lines between formal and informal systems. Using objects to represent complex organisations and relationships, the project gathers together a selection of artefacts used by waste pickers as well as a series of stories that accompany them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As gateways to a deeper understanding of wider systems, the harvested artefacts were then combined to create portraits of previously elusive organisational work. In doing so, the exhibit seeks to illuminate the real stories of waste pickers and their struggle to be accepted as important actors in the waste economy. Presented in a commercial space &#8211; the shop Sissy Boy situated across Design Academy Eindhoven,\u00a0 where products that are made across the globe are sold, the project seeks to provoke a wider assessment of the relationship between production, consumption and waste.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Join us at the opening!\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visit Chiefs of Waste during Dutch Design Week 2019 in Sissy Boy [Nieuwe Emmasingel 2].
