Your Voice Builds Worlds

This poster responds to the UNMUTED: Designers for Humanity Awards by reframing voice as infrastructure.
In a moment defined by polarization, algorithmic amplification, and reactive discourse, the project asks:
What are we constructing when we speak?
The goals were:
To position communication as an act of world-building.
To advocate for clarity and critical thinking without sacrificing empathy.
To bridge intellectual sharpness with ethical responsibility.
To distill urgency into a message that is both poetic and actionable.
The central statement — “Your voice builds worlds.” — frames speech as architecture The supporting line — “Be sharp. Be kind.” — insists that precision and compassion are not opposites, but structural partners.
Ultimately, the work argues:
Precision builds clarity.
Kindness builds trust.
Together, they build worlds.

We have always been inspired by text-based artists like Jenny Holzer, Barbara Kruger, Felix Gonzalez Torres, John Giorno, Vinca Kruk and Daniel van der Velden (Metahaven), and Ed Ruscha. Without these artists, I wouldn't be able to make this work.
