Master’s graduate Kikko Neubert from the Faculty of Design at HAWK in Hildesheim received an award at the Art Directors Club of Europe (ADC*E) 2024 Student Award.
The ADC*E selected her idea “The Papaya Book” from 261 award-winning entries – the work thus joins the collection of Europe’s best.
For safe abortions
Unsafe abortions are one of the most common, yet preventable, causes of death for women worldwide. Often, medical professionals simply lack the necessary expertise. This injustice inspired Kikko Neubert to develop "The Papaya Book" – a unique textbook disguised as a cookbook that teaches vital, World Health Organization-recommended methods for safe abortion.
This innovative book uses the papaya, whose structure resembles a pregnant woman's uterus, to vividly illustrate abortion methods and provide life-saving knowledge to medical professionals in countries with restrictive laws.
