Photos of my thesis project; CC KIT (Creative Culture Kit). The theme revolved around the problem of AIDS orphans in Mozambique. The focus of my thesis was on how the stimulation of creativity can find simple and innovative solutions for social issues at a local scale. The analysis was based on research on creativity, innovation, visual communication, the problem of AIDS and AIDS orphans in Mozambique and the country’s cultural identity. Moreover the aim of the project was to promote a community driven, environmentally sustainable, economically and social empowering response to the issue. The CC-Kit consists of a puzzle kit for children of 3 to 18 years old. Every piece of the puzzle can be converted into an artisan product taking the graphics of the puzzle and reproducing them using local materials and technology. The treatment of the graphics completely depends on the creativity and imagination of the child.
