TUQTULI

tuqtuli@typo.social

<p>Tuqtuli is a communication principle where signs are lined up like words. It is useful wherever people lack a shared language and corresponding help.
Tuqtuli aims to involve as many as different people as possible as co-creators and testers of a new visual way of global communication. Like you!
The project started in 2024 and since then has been at conferences, festivals and universities in Belgium, Germany, Japan and the USA.

You are welcome to co-create and cooperate!</p>

    Only recently the #milulayuproject, a sibling of tuqtuli’s #ibuproject, started with master students of the Hochschule für Gestaltung (University of Design) in Schwäbisch Gmünd, Germany. Over the summer semester they will translate instructions for 9 different medicines into signs. Pioneering work! The resulting works will be exhibited in various locations as part of the milulayu project. At the same time, this seminar forms part of the contribution to Frankfurt’s programme as World Design Capit...

    Aufbauend auf der Idee des später stattfindenden Workshops zur »Frankfurter Jacke« geht es am 6. Mai  tagsüber in dem Workshop »Frankfurter Botschaft« um eine in TUQTULI verfasste Botschaft, welche in das demokratische Kleidungsstück einfließen soll. Deine demokratische Gesinnung kann hier ihren Ausdruck finden als Gruß, Selbstauskunft oder Erinnerung an Dich selbst – individuell oder allgemeingültig, ins Auge fallend oder diskret. https://wdc2026.org/de/events/tuqtuli-oder-dialogwerkstatt

    Building on the idea of the later workshop on the »Frankfurt Jacket«, the »Frankfurt Message« workshop on 6 May will focus on a message in tuqtuli, which will be incorporated into the democratic garment. Your democratic attitude can find expression here as a greeting, a personal statement or a reminder to yourself – whether individual or universal, eye-catching or discreet. https://wdc2026.org/en/events/tuqtuli-oder-dialogwerkstatt
