Feces. Excrement. Stool. Poo. Caca. Its name changes but not most people’s reaction to it. Poo is something we ignore or treat with disdain. It repels us. It’s kept behind closed doors and never mentioned in polite company. But in its new issue, Shit. A survival guide, COLORS looks straight down the pan, exploring the truths behind the taboo, and the reasons why we should start to take shit seriously.

Fabrica is not a school, advertising agency or university. It is an applied creativity laboratory, a talent incubator, a studio of sorts in which young, modern artists come from all over the world to develop innovative projects and explore new directions in myriad avenues of communication.

Here, we’re be blogging stories and interests, ranging from cool projects, educational news, to the party last friday and what we had for lunch, from inside and outside of Fabrica, from ex and current Fabricanti, from friends and strangers, everything in between the all and the nothings.
Creativity is unusual stuff: It frightens. It deranges. It’s subversive. It mistrusts what it sees, what it hears. It dares to doubt. It acts even if it errs. It infiltrates preconceived notions. It rattles established certitudes. It incessantly invents new ways, new vocabularies. It provokes and changes points of view.
Communication research at Fabrica services a wide variety of disciplines and social causes.
We invite applications from talented young designers and artists. Successful applicants will be awarded a bursary to spend one year in Fabrica working on a range of creative projects.
