Are We There Yet? - Beckmans in collaboration with The Beijer Institute and Svenskt Tenn
The yearly interdisciplinary collaboration between the Visual Communication students at Beckmans College of Design, the researchers at The Beijer Institute and Svenskt Tenn was initiated in 2017. The collaboration aims to open up new formats and languages for research and visual communication – to meet, to interplay, and convey knowledge both rationally and emotionally.
In 2023 the students interpret the Beijer Institute’s highly topical research on antibiotic resistance, one of the biggest threats to global health and food security right now.
Antibiotic resistance occurs naturally: misuse of antibiotics in humans and animals however is accelerating this process. We want to highlight common misconceptions, encourage conversations and emphasise the fact that action, taken at all levels of society, can reduce the impact and limit the spread of resistance.
Science states that we are definitely there, and beyond. What does it take for the rest of us to understand?
