Challenging Populist Truth-Making in Europe
What impact does populist politics have on museums? The international research project investigated the influence of right-wing populist movements on the museum landscape. As technology partner, we developed a project website and an app for the CHAPTER project.

Developing the project website
As a technology partner, we initially conceptualised and designed a website with all relevant information about the project. We developed a uniform, friendly and inviting design language in pastel colours. The project website conveys the research focus and the basic principles (‘facets’) of populism, these facets reappear as a square shape in the logo design.

The CHAPTER app
The application enables users to engage with the topic of right-wing populism. Using quiz questions on selected exhibits from three museums in Berlin, Krakow and London, users learn about the impact and use of right-wing populist methods.
Open questions and ‘soft’ results serve to make grey areas in the formation of opinion visible. Through ‘crowd feedback’, i.e. the opportunity to gain insights into the opinions of other users, the app encourages users to categorise their own views in comparison.
Our design vision was to create an aesthetic that is orientated towards social media, as populist content is increasingly being used there. The UX design of the quizzes therefore picks up on the frequent use of emojis on social networks.
