2nd Edition

Posterheroes si fa vetrina creativa del dibattito propositivo sul presente e sul futuro del consumo e della fruizione consapevole delle risorse energetiche e materiali.La seconda edizione propone il tema del consumo, sottolineando il ruolo del fruitore attore importante negli equilibri mondiali di consumo/risparmio, e non come mero spettatore di meccanismi più grandi.Il concorso è un mezzo per i giovani e per la comunità creativa per esprimere la propria opinione in merito alla fruizione delle risorse per un futuro sostenibile.

Quale modello di consumo proponi?Quali scenari immagini per una fruizioneconsapevole delle risorse energetiche e materiali?

La sensibilizzazione all’azione del singolo può giovare all’intera comunità. Il consumo indiscriminato diviene anche consumo di sé, del proprio tempo e del proprio spazio.

Quali idee, scelte e azioni si possono proporre e concretamente operare per migliorare o addirittura rivoluzionare uno scenario di consumo scriteriato ormai obsoleto?

Posterheroes is the creative showcase of the proactive debate about society’s energy consumption present and future. It also impacts on the awareness of the limits of energy and material at our disposal.The second edition proposes the issue of overall consumption, underlining the user’s role as an important actor in reaching consumption/saving global equilibriums, and not merely as a pectator of the broader issues. The contest is a way for young people and the creative community to express their opinions on how to best manage the available resources, for a sustainable future.

Which kind of consumption model do you propose?Which kind of scenario do you imagine for an aware fruition of the energetic and material resources?

The ideas, input and action of a single person can impact the entire community. Indiscriminate consumption causes self-consumption, of personal space and time.

Which kind of ideas, choices and actions can be proposed and concretely applied to improve or revolution a reckless and obsolete consumption scenario?
