De eendagspartij: the one-day party

Abstract

De Eendagspartij (The One-day Party) is an intervention that aims to give citizens, in light of the upcoming local elections, a platform to voice their own views as opposed to having to conform to one of the existing party programs. By stimulating the involvement of inhabitants in the shaping of their own environment the project questions the functioning of a purely representative democracy. Furthermore, the project discusses the issue of ownership in public space by letting the participants design and print their own posters and post them in the surrounding public space. It explores the use of vernacular (graphic) design as a way to connect more closely to the context and its actors.1
