Caring Scoiety - A Tiny Creature ACROSS RCA Team Work: Natasha Sajan,Yiqing Yang,Derek Yue,Chunlu Zhang

To show the far-reaching effects of urbanization, we present A project that transports users into the microscopic world of  tiny creatures.

With the rapid urbanisation of cities, fields are gradually turning into high-rise buildings, plants are being replaced by steel, and gardens are replacing natural fields based on the human need for vegetation. This responds to the demands of human development and improves the quality of human habitation.

However, due to this, humanity’s relationship with nature is changing, as well as the methods used in order to gather knowledge and interact with it.

Our approach to this brief was to create a 2 perspective illustrated comic about the Chinese Mitten Crab  

(an invasive species) and their "annoying" interactions with humans (namely the characters of a fisherman, a scientific researcher and a student). We wanted to allow our audience to engage in thinking about the relationship between nature and current events, as well as a way to start a conversation about the philosophies behind the natural sciences.






Our comic pages will be placed in sections in different parts of the museum. First, an audience member can collect a leaflet at the site of the first poster or at the information desk at the Natural History Museum.

On the back of the leaflet, there will be a map of the museum marking where every comic is located. Viewers must go to the site of each comic, can view the poster art.

The leaflet has little inserts where they can collect the mini flyer versions of the posters and add them into their personal leaflets, as a collectible.
