Acolher+: um projeto de acolhimento temporário para pessoas LGBTQIA+

Abstract

This work was motivated to help LGBTQIA+ people find a shelter or temporary home when they need help. Suffering discrimination and family expulsion is a reality of many Brazilian LGBTQIA+ people, where in many cases do not have any responsible body or enough information to receive the necessary help. How can Design help disseminate this information and minimize this problem? The problem that started the creation of this project is that there is no disclosure of this information to those who need it, and there is no disclosure of who performs these works. Therefore, we had two target audiences: organizations and welcome people. To carry out the theoretical survey, a survey was carried out on writers and historical articles on the subject, where we could understand a little the reason for the cause of this discrimination. This prejudice that currently happens in our society already exists historically? As much as the history of shelters. After the research, it was possible to understand the reality of these people, which was fundamental to see closely what these people go through. For this, we contact the organizations that carry out hosting projects to understand their reality. It was also carried out research of works or projects related to the theme, to verify if there is already any alternative currently that performs this aid to people who are in a vulnerable situation. The idea was that the platform would gather information that is currently dispersed on the internet and people who are in vulnerability need an urgent return, and a page unifying this process could help the public-target, who needs this information as soon as possible. The project aimed to develop the graphic identity of a web platform, which centralized data from a survey of places and social networks, which are articulated as shelters. In the end, it was reflected on the role of design as articulator of communication tools as the proposal.
