Onomatopee playfully frames and manifests our progressive capacity to design culture. At Onomatopee, architects, urban planners, graphic and spatial designers, cultural critics, marketers, artists, politicians and others willing to engage with the meaningfulness of designed culture, get together, within a constructive sphere of nurturing, cultural citizenship, to negotiate and establish our cultural future via design’s playful, political practice. Each project consists of an exhibition, which allows our experience to become durable, and a publication that gives context to our imaginations. Projects expand upon both real-time cases and abstract thought.

Laughing Prohibited! / Verboden te Lachen!
On the comic and the prophecy.
Laughing prohibited! engages with humour as a technical tool for creatives. Humour consists in many tones of voice and many shapes to visualise. Laughing prohibited! asks the visitor to take a further look into the matter: what does the work put forth? Laughing prohibited! debates the quality of the artistic freedom of expression, against the background of the Danish caricatures.
Laughing Prohibited! enhances an exchange of experiences and knowledge about humour. When do we laugh, why do we laugh and when should we laugh? Laughing Prohibited! shows us techniques, strategies and issues of conception and representation. This relates immediately to the classic issues of design processes: the form and context of production.
