KOMM.unity is a women-led collective fostering multicultural dialogue through spatial interventions.
We are aiming to design and deliver experiences that bring people together, encourage intercultural dialogue, and celebrate diverse perspectives. Through our innovative approach, we focus on building stronger, more inclusive communities where every voice is heard and valued.
We prioritize the production of knowledge through community engagement. We seek to design new communication tools for users from various backgrounds. Our modular and haptic design encourages people to create temporary and custom spaces for their own specific needs. By creating these ephemeral spaces, we encourage communication between city dwellers and engage people with the urban environment.
