RESPECT ME - Call for Submissions

RESPECT ME: Call for Submissions

by Casey Koppelson

Grouphug, the nonprofit NYC-based design collective, has just opened the call for submissions for this year's design show, RESPECT ME, centered around the theme of female empowerment.

From the beginning of time, women seemingly fall short in comparison to men. They are viewed as inferior and as a result are paid less, underrepresented in the government and almost every industry, subject to sexual harassment, and not guaranteed basic reproductive rights.

Underneath the myriad of issues, there is an inherent lack of respect. Half of the world's population is female, why are they systematically undervalued? We challenge you to think about your own personal experience.

Choose an issue you are passionate about and address it through design. We encourage submissions from all genders & on any LBGTQ+ issue.

The deadline for submissions is March 11, 2018.
