Project Details
Stop Nigma is a public art and speculative design project, part of the #freeartfriday and #freeart movement. Artists place their artwork in public spaces and share images on social media for their followers to find. Whoever finds the artwork can claim it and keep it. The project is based on a fictional future in which concealing one’s identity is restricted or illegal. The designed artifact represents an internationally recognized symbol which is displayed as a public sign in areas with restricted privacy. In addition to collecting the artifacts, the audience participants in extending the speculation in their own ways by sharing stories and images. The project is ongoing and can be found here.
