Chromarama questions one of the most basic aspects of design: colour. Chromarama investigates colour perception and experience by people with Colour Vision Deficiency (CVD), more commonly known as colour blindness, translated into jacquard woven tapestries. For most people seeing all colours comes naturally. Yet 1 in 12 men and 1 in 200 women are colour blind. What role can design (education) play? How do you ensure that visual information is not lost? How can we take visual limitations into account in both functional and aesthetic design?
Textile Design
This artistic research has been translated into five jacquard woven tapestries. The graphic colour studies, inspired by Josef Albers and the Ishihara test, play with shape, contrast, texture, subtle shine, pattern and tactility. This talk discusses the research process and the design of the tapestries. With Chromarama, Kukka wants to contribute to a (design) world, where there is room for valuable experiences of people with a visual impairment or disability.
