Relatables are a series of collectible cards and pins that feature fictional characters representing a diverse range of backgrounds and personalities. These characters serve as catalysts for open and insightful discussions, encouraging users to explore and reflect upon the complex aspects of human experiences. A QR code on each of the cards directs users to an interactive website that acts as a hub for exploration and discussion where users can access more detailed profiles of each character and resources. Additionally, a children’s book will act as a supplement story to the characters, almost like a prequel to their current lives portrayed on the website where the characters’ younger selves are brought together to interact in one world and work through their differences.
Everybody has their own story.
Relatables are the same.
These characters are made with the purpose to give everyone a chance to find someone that looks and feels the same way they do. It’s time for more representation and it’s time to start thinking critically about how we can help ourselves and others with our own unique challenges.
Who are we?
