LABLAND BY SOCIAL LABEL
A TRIBUTE TO THE HOME OF SOCIAL LABEL
During Dutch Design Week 18 – 26 October, Social label will present new products and the performance film ‘SOL EN DE THUISVAARDERS’ a multidisciplinary performance film with Katinka Polderman.
All voices should be heard
A tribute to the Social label Lab, the place that has been designed to respond to the times from a human perspective. With the social sustainable design collection and community the Social label foundation has been working together for more than 10 years to build a socially sustainable home. A home for everyone without barriers, with different sounds and voices that we do not hear now. Social label designs work and activities for an empathetic society in which we celebrate the playful human being. With more than 50 socially sustainable design products to date, Social label is building a growing inclusive movement for an economy in which no one is left behind. People feel seen, heard and valued again. Social Label works together with the top names in the Dutch design world and the healthcare, education and reintegration sectors in the Netherlands. Design with meaning.
A search for a sense of home
Regardless of your background or origin, together we create a world where everyone feels at home. The Social label Lab is a haven where you can just be yourself, where all voices are heard. Sol, he/she, our mascot, stands for happiness and equality. Sol is also the length of a solar day on Mars and keeps the world turning. You get a glimpse into the world we are shaping together. Writer/cabaretier Katinka Polderman spoke with participants from the Social label ateliers, Cello care/Hal36, De Winkel die Werkt and refugee centres Den Bosch about what home means to them. This forms the starting point for the script “Sol and the Homecomers”. The multidisciplinary production was performed live and recorded at the Social label Lab in Den Bosch. With this performance film, we bring a tribute to the lab for social innovation and send a positive, inclusive message out into the world.
