00:12
I come from Egypt,
0
12920
1400
Dolazim iz Egipta,
00:15
which is also called Umm al-Dunya, the Mother of the World.
1
15440
3440
koji se također naziva Umm al-Dunya, Majka svijeta.
00:20
It's a rich country filled with stories of rebellion,
2
20840
2856
To je bogata zemlja, puna priča o pobunama,
00:23
stories of civilizational triumph and downfall
3
23720
3376
priča o usponima i padovima civilizacije
00:27
and the rich, religious,
4
27120
1616
te bogatom religijskom,
00:28
ethnic, cultural and linguistic diversity.
5
28760
3680
etničkom, kulturalnom i lingvističkom raznolikošću.
00:33
Growing up in such an environment,
6
33360
2176
Odrastajući u takvom okruženju,
00:35
I became a strong believer in the power of storytelling.
7
35560
2960
počela sam snažno vjerovati u moć pripovijedanja.
00:39
As I searched for the medium with which to tell my story,
8
39680
3016
Dok sam tražila medij pomoću kojeg bih ispričala svoju priču,
00:42
I stumbled upon graphic design.
9
42720
1840
naišla sam na grafički dizajn.
00:45
I would like to share with you a project
10
45640
2016
Htjela bih vam ispričati o tome
00:47
of how graphic design can bring the Arabic language to life.
11
47680
3656
kako grafički dizajn može oživiti arapski jezik.
00:51
But first, let me tell you why I want to do this.
12
51360
2360
Dopustite mi da kažem zašto to želim napraviti.
00:54
I believe that graphic design can change the world.
13
54640
2840
Vjerujem da grafički dizajn može promijeniti svijet.
00:58
At least in my very own city of Cairo,
14
58120
1976
Barem je u mom gradu, Kairu,
01:00
it helped overthrow two separate dictators.
15
60120
2800
pomogao svrgnuti dva različita diktatora.
01:03
As you can see from those photos,
16
63840
2096
Kao što vidite iz ovih fotografija,
01:05
the power and potential of graphic design as a tool for positive change
17
65960
4376
moć i potencijal grafičkog dizajna kao alata za pozitivnu promjenu
01:10
is undeniably strong.
18
70360
1440
neporecivo su jaki.
01:13
Egypt's 2011 revolution was also a grassroots design revolution.
19
73440
4320
Revolucija u Egiptu 2011. bila je također temeljna dizajnerska revolucija.
01:18
Everyone became a creator.
20
78600
1760
Svi su postali kreatori.
01:20
People were the real designers
21
80920
2256
Ljudi su bili pravi dizajneri
01:23
and, just overnight,
22
83200
1496
pa je preko noći
01:24
Cairo was flooded with posters,
23
84720
2576
Kairo preplavljen posterima,
01:27
signage, graffiti.
24
87320
2080
oznakama, grafitima.
01:30
Visual communication
25
90080
1776
Vizualna komunikacija
01:31
was the medium that spoke far louder than words
26
91880
3176
bila je medij koji je govorio glasnije od riječi,
01:35
when the population of over 90 million voices were suppressed
27
95080
4216
kad je više od 90 milijuna stanovnika bilo potiskivano
01:39
for almost 30 years.
28
99320
1640
gotovo 30 godina.
01:43
It was precisely this political and social suppression,
29
103000
3496
Baš je to političko i društveno potiskivanje,
01:46
coupled with decades of colonialism
30
106520
3016
uz desetljeća kolonijalizma
01:49
and miseducation
31
109560
1776
i lošeg obrazovanja,
01:51
that slowly eroded the significance of the Arabic script in the region.
32
111360
3856
polako ugrozilo značaj arapskog pisma u toj regiji.
01:55
All of these countries once used Arabic.
33
115240
2576
Sve su te zemlje nekoć koristile arapski.
01:57
Now it's just the green and the blue.
34
117840
1762
Danas samo ove zelene i plave.
02:00
To put it simply,
35
120960
1696
Jednostavno rečeno,
02:02
the Arabic script is dying.
36
122680
1680
arapsko pismo izumire.
02:05
In postcolonial Arab countries functioning in an increasingly globalized world,
37
125120
4616
U postkolonijalnim arapskim zemljama u sve globaliziranijem svijetu,
02:09
it is a growing alarm
38
129760
1536
rastući je alarm
02:11
that less and less people are using the Arabic script to communicate.
39
131320
3880
da sve manje i manje ljudi koristi arapsko pismo za komunikaciju.
02:17
As I was studying my master's in Italy, I noticed myself missing Arabic.
40
137720
4656
Dok sam studirala u Italiji, primijetila sam da mi nedostaje arapski.
02:22
I missed looking at the letters,
41
142400
1936
Nedostajalo mi je gledanje u slova,
02:24
digesting their meaning.
42
144360
1816
probavljanje njihova značenja.
02:26
So one day, I walked into one of the biggest libraries in Italy
43
146200
4336
Tako sam jednog dana ušetala u jednu od najvećih knjižnica u Italiji
02:30
in search of an Arabic book.
44
150560
1600
u potrazi za arapskom knjigom.
02:32
I was surprised to find that this is what they had
45
152880
2656
Bila sam iznenađena da su imali ovo
02:35
under the category of "Arabic/Middle Eastern books."
46
155560
3400
pod kategorijom Arapske/srednjoistočne knjige.
02:41
(Laughter)
47
161080
2416
(Smijeh)
02:43
Fear, terrorism and destruction.
48
163520
3840
Strah, terorizam i uništenje.
02:48
One word: ISIS.
49
168240
1760
Jedna riječ - ISIS.
02:51
My heart ached
50
171040
1616
Srce me boljelo
02:52
that this is how we are portrayed to the world,
51
172680
2216
što smo ovako prikazani u svijetu,
02:54
even from a literary perspective.
52
174920
2040
čak i iz književne perspektive.
02:57
I asked myself: Whatever happened to the world-renowned writers
53
177560
4456
Upitala sam se - što se dogodilo sa svjetski renomiranim piscima,
03:02
like Naguib Mahfouz, Khalil Gibran,
54
182040
3160
kao što su Naguib Mahfouz i Khalil Gibran,
03:06
iconic poets like Mutanabbi, Nizar Qabbani?
55
186280
4920
te kultnim pjesnicima, kao što su Mutanabbi i Nizar Qabbani?
03:11
Think about this.
56
191880
1736
Razmislite o tome.
03:13
The cultural products of an entire region of the world,
57
193640
4016
Kulturni proizvodi cijele jedne svjetske regije,
03:17
as rich, as diverse,
58
197680
2296
tako bogate i tako raznolike,
03:20
have been deemed redundant,
59
200000
1560
smatraju se suvišnima,
03:22
if not ignored altogether.
60
202560
1800
ako ne i posve ignoriranima.
03:25
The cultural products of an entire region of the world
61
205880
3696
Kulturnim proizvodima cijele jedne svjetske regije
03:29
have been barred from imparting any kind of real impact
62
209600
3776
zabranjeno je davati bilo kakav stvarni utjecaj
03:33
on global media productions and contemporary social discourse.
63
213400
3240
na globalne medijske produkcije te suvremeni društveni diskurs.
03:37
And then I reminded myself of my number one belief:
64
217440
2496
Tad sam se podsjetila na svoje glavno uvjerenje
03:39
design can change the world.
65
219960
2296
- dizajn može promijeniti svijet.
03:42
All you need is for someone to catch a glimpse of your work,
66
222280
2856
Sve što trebate je da netko primijeti vaš rad,
03:45
feel, connect.
67
225160
1560
osjeti ga, poveže se.
03:47
And so I started.
68
227440
1560
I tako sam počela.
03:49
I thought about how can I stop the world from seeing us as evil,
69
229600
4176
Razmišljala sam o tome kako da nas svijet prestane vidjeti kao zle,
03:53
as terrorists of this planet,
70
233800
2136
kao teroriste ovog planeta,
03:55
and start perceiving us as equals,
71
235960
3136
i počne nas doživljavati kao jednake,
03:59
fellow humans?
72
239120
1200
ljude?
04:01
How can I save and honor the Arabic script
73
241480
2336
Kako da sačuvam i poštujem arapsko pismo
04:03
and share it with other people, other cultures?
74
243840
2480
te kako da ga podijelim s drugim ljudima i kulturama?
04:07
And then it hit me:
75
247400
1736
I tad mi je palo na pamet.
04:09
What if I combined the two most significant symbols
76
249160
3816
Što kad bih kombinirala dva najznačajnija simbola,
04:13
of innocence and Arab identity?
77
253000
3216
nevinost i arapski identitet?
04:16
Maybe then people could resonate.
78
256240
1800
Možda bi to ljudi mogli prihvatiti.
04:19
What's more pure, innocent and fun as LEGO?
79
259120
3536
Što je čistije, nevinije i zabavnije od Lego kockica?
04:22
It's a universal child's toy.
80
262680
1576
To je univerzalna dječja igračka.
04:24
You play with them, you build with them,
81
264280
3296
Igrate se i gradite pomoću njih
04:27
and with them, you imagine endless possibilities.
82
267600
2600
te s njima zamišljate beskrajne mogućnosti.
04:31
My eureka moment was to find a bilingual solution for Arabic education,
83
271160
4456
Moj eureka trenutak bio je pronaći dvojezično rješenje za arapski,
04:35
because effective communication and education
84
275640
2656
jer su učinkovita komunikacija i obrazovanje
04:38
is the road to more tolerant communities.
85
278320
2776
put prema tolerantnijim zajednicama.
04:41
However, the Arabic and Latin scripts do not only represent different worlds
86
281120
4296
Međutim, arapsko pismo i latinica ne predstavljaju samo različite svjetove,
04:45
but also create technical difficulties for both Eastern and Western communities
87
285440
4576
nego također stvaraju tehničke poteškoće i za zajednicu Istoka te za onu Zapada
04:50
on a daily basis.
88
290040
1496
svaki dan.
04:51
There are so many reasons why Arabic and Latin are different,
89
291560
2896
Postoje mnogi razlozi zašto su ta pisma različita,
04:54
but here are some of the main ones.
90
294480
1696
ali evo nekih glavnih.
04:56
Yes, both use upward and downward strokes,
91
296200
2696
Da, oba koriste poteze prema gore i prema dolje,
04:58
but have completely different baselines.
92
298920
2280
ali imaju sasvim različite osnovice.
05:02
Arabic tends to be more calligraphic
93
302160
2256
Arapski više naginje kaligrafiji,
05:04
and connectivity is important to the Arabic language,
94
304440
2936
sposobnost povezivanja važna je arapskom jeziku,
05:07
whose letters have to be mostly joined in order to articulate a given word.
95
307400
4336
čija slova uglavnom moraju biti spojena kako bi formirala neku riječ.
05:11
It also uses an entirely different system of punctuation and diacritics.
96
311760
4576
On također koristi sasvim drukčiji sustav interpunkcije i dijakritičkih znakova.
05:16
But most importantly,
97
316360
2056
No, najvažnije je
05:18
Arabic has no capital letters.
98
318440
2136
da arapski nema velikih slova.
05:20
Instead it has four different letter forms:
99
320600
3336
Umjesto toga ima četiri različita oblika slova:
05:23
initial, medial, isolated and final.
100
323960
3240
inicijalni, medijalni, izolirani i finalni.
05:28
I want to introduce the Arabic language to young learners, foreign speakers,
101
328520
4856
Želim prenijeti arapski jezik mladim učenicima, stranim govornicima,
05:33
but most importantly help refugees integrate to their host societies
102
333400
4040
ali najvažnije, želim pomoći izbjeglicama da se integriraju u nova društva,
05:39
through creating a bilingual learning system,
103
339440
2456
stvarajući dvojezični sustav učenja,
05:41
a two-way flow of communication.
104
341920
2616
dvosmjerni protok komunikacije.
05:44
And I called it "Let's Play."
105
344560
1600
Nazvala sam ga Igrajmo se.
05:48
The idea is to simply create a fun and engaging way of learning
106
348160
4656
Ideja je bila jednostavno kreirati zabavan i privlačan način učenja
05:52
Modern Standard Arabic through LEGO.
107
352840
2160
modernog standardnog arapskog uz Lego.
05:55
These are the two words. "Let's Play."
108
355840
2656
To su te dvije riječi - Igrajmo se.
05:58
Every colored bar marks an Arabic letter.
109
358520
2680
Svaka obojena pločica označava arapsko slovo.
06:02
As you can see, the letter is explained in form, sound
110
362080
4296
Kao što vidite, slovo je objašnjeno oblikom, zvukom
06:06
and examples of words in function,
111
366400
2416
te primjerima riječi u kontekstu,
06:08
in addition to the equivalent in Latin.
112
368840
2616
uz dodatak ekvivalenta na latinici.
06:11
Together, they form a fun pocket book
113
371480
2256
Sve to nalazi se u zabavnoj džepnoj knjizi
06:13
with the 29 Arabic letters and the four different forms,
114
373760
3456
s 29 arapskih slova u četirima različitim oblicima,
06:17
plus a 400-word dictionary.
115
377240
1920
uz rječnik koji sadrži 400 riječi.
06:20
So this is how the page looks like.
116
380160
1776
Ovako izgleda stranica.
06:21
You have the letter, the transliteration in Latin
117
381960
2456
Imate slovo, transliteraciju na latinici
06:24
and the description underneath.
118
384440
1680
te opis ispod.
06:27
I'll take you through the process.
119
387200
1620
Provest ću vas kroz proces.
06:29
So first in my tiny studio in Florence,
120
389520
2136
Prvo sam, u svom malom studiju u Firenci,
06:31
I built the letters.
121
391680
1456
složila slova.
06:33
I photographed each letter separately,
122
393160
2816
Fotografirala sam posebno svako slovo,
06:36
and then I retouched every letter and chose the correct color background
123
396000
3976
onda sam retuširala svako slovo te izabrala odgovarajuću boju pozadine
06:40
and typefaces to use.
124
400000
1440
i oblik fonta.
06:42
Ultimately, I created the full letter set,
125
402320
2816
Na kraju sam kreirala cijeli skup slova,
06:45
which is 29 letters times four different forms.
126
405160
3496
tj. 29 slova puta četiri različita oblika.
06:48
That's 116 letters build just in one week.
127
408680
3080
To je 116 slova u samo jednom tjednu.
06:53
I believe that information should and can be fun, portable.
128
413000
4320
Vjerujem da bi informacije trebale i mogu biti zabavne i prenosive.
06:58
This book is the final product,
129
418040
2576
Ova je knjiga finalni proizvod
07:00
which I would eventually like to publish
130
420640
2336
koji bih eventualno voljela objaviti
07:03
and translate into as many languages in the world,
131
423000
3416
i prevesti na što više svjetskih jezika,
07:06
so that Arabic teaching and learning becomes fun, easy and accessible globally.
132
426440
6080
tako da učenje arapskog postane zabavno, jednostavno i pristupačno.
07:13
With this book, I hope to save my nation's beautiful script.
133
433520
4200
Uz pomoć ove knjige nadam se očuvati divno pismo svog naroda.
07:18
(Applause)
134
438480
4456
(Pljesak)
07:22
Thank you.
135
442960
1200
Hvala vam.
07:27
Working on this project was a form of visual meditation,
136
447120
4896
Rad na ovom projektu bio je oblik vizualne meditacije,
07:32
like a Sufi dance,
137
452040
1256
kao ples derviša,
07:33
a prayer to a better planet.
138
453320
1840
molitva za bolji planet.
07:35
One set of building blocks made two languages.
139
455920
3616
Jedan skup građevinskih blokova sagradio je dva jezika.
07:39
LEGO is just a metaphor.
140
459560
1600
Lego kockice su samo metafora.
07:41
It's because we are all made of the same building unit,
141
461960
3256
Svi smo mi napravljeni od istog materijala
07:45
is that I can see a future
142
465240
1896
i zato mogu vidjeti budućnost
07:47
where the barriers between people
143
467160
1800
u kojoj se barijere između ljudi
07:49
all come tumbling down.
144
469960
1440
sve ruše.
07:52
So no matter how ugly the world around us gets,
145
472160
3296
Dakle, bez obzira koliko ružan svijet oko nas postane,
07:55
or how many discouraging books on ISIS, the terrorist group,
146
475480
3616
ili koliko obeshrabrujućih knjiga o ISIS-u, terorističkoj skupini,
07:59
and not Isis, the ancient Egyptian goddess,
