Diseño de taller participativo inspirado en el Kintsugi para mapear roles de género en Obsidian

Abstract

CONDITIONING OF PROJECT PUBLICATION. The present project aims to design a visual proposal and a participatory workshop that enables women to reflect on imposed gender roles and stereotypes by social design, the metaphor of Kintsugi as a conceptual resource, and the creation of art through technology. Given the need for spaces of female expression, the project proposes the generation of these spaces for dialogue and the resignification of experiences through a playful and visual tool. The project was developed using the Design Thinking methodology, applying qualitative research techniques, graphic design, and participatory design. Printed materials, visual cards, group dynamics, and digital tools were used to construct a virtual museum that compiled the outcomes of the workshop. The results showed that participants were able to identify, represent, and reflect on gender roles, generating not only symbolic connections between individual and collective experiences. As a general conclusion, the project demonstrates that design constitutes an effective tool for reflection among vulnerable groups, emotional expression, and the construction of shared memories from a social and symbolic perspective.
