Tuqtuli is a communication principle where signs are lined up like words. It is useful wherever people lack a shared language and corresponding help.
Tuqtuli aims to involve as many as different people as possible as co-creators and testers of a new visual way of global communication. Like you!
The project started in 2024 and since then has been at conferences, festivals and universities in Belgium, Germany, Japan and the USA.
You are welcome to co-create and cooperate!

Juli GudehusIn the summer semester of 2026, I will be standing in for Prof. Daniel Utz @dnlutz at the Schwäbisch Gmünd University of Design, leading a seminar on the topic of ‘visual thinking’. The students’ task will be to translate the instructions for various medicines into symbols. The resulting works will be exhibited in various locations as part of the #milulayuproject. At the same time, this seminar forms part of the contribution to Frankfurt’s programme as World Design Capital. In the summer, the students’ tuqtuli translations will be featured in the WDC campus exhibition at the Museum Angewandte Kunst (Museum of Applied Arts). #tuqtuli
