Describe the creative idea
Draw The Line Against Malaria is a movement led by the generation that will end malaria.
To end Malaria, African youth needed to demand action from heads of state. But growing up with Malaria as an inevitable fact of life had made youth lose hope in a malaria-free future. To bring this hope back, we made the mission of ending Malaria part of African youth culture
To tap into African culture, we partnered with renowned Nigerian Artist and Activist Laolu Sebanjo. Together we created a modular line pattern that would represent our movement. The Muundo combines traditional line art with technology to create a collective artwork that demands a malaria free future from world leaders.
We built the movement line by line. Inviting celebrities, influencers and digital african youth to add their own line to a digital platform and facefilter, turning the pattern into a collective statement against malaria.
Describe the execution
We worked together with Laolu Senbanjo to create a visual language that allowed everyone to add their line to a collective message: The Muundo. The Muundo is designed as a modular system that allows african youth to personalise their message with a range of graphics and symbols. In addition they can personalise a modular modular headline: “Malaria, we’re too _____ for you”. The Muundo informed every element of this movement.
The Muundo was the centerpiece that informed every element of the campaign:
–The campaign was launched with a film that invited African youth to join our movement. The film featured cultural leaders Eliud Kipchoge, Omotola Ekeinde, Sherry Silver and Siya Kolisi.
–A fashion capsule collection created with Nigerian streetwear label I N Official helped us to get the message out on the streets and the feeds.
–The animation film narrated by Grammy award singer Yemi Alade told the full story of the Muundo from its origin (traditional body painting) to the collective artwork that spreads across the world.
–The online platform allowed everyone to personalise their message and add it to a collective mural.
–A face filter on instagram and facebook, launched in partnership with 50 African influencers, enabled digital youth to wear the Muundo as a face mask.
– A PR, influencer and ambassador industry ensured that all of the above was visible across social media, outdoor, global and african news channels.
