We understand art and design as transformative practices that use creativity and alternative approaches to respond to complex challenges and drive social change. To this end, we look beyond art and design practice to the contexts in which artistic and entrepreneurial activities are embedded in order to reflect on the need and possibilities for action.

Each workshop consists out of two sessions, one discussion and one visit. You can also take part in the events individually.

Transformative creative practice is a series of discussions, followed up by live meetings with various lecturers and initiatives. It is considered for students, graduates or creative professionals who look for sustainable strategies for their businesses, projects or other endeavors from Berlin. 

The focus is on transformative ideas and projects where individuals or collectives dare, to some extent, to change the status-quo through their creative practice. Each topic is introduced with a theoretical framework that potentially can help participants to navigate complexity or take complexity as it is and play with it. A special focus is put on being exposed to various human and non-human contexts as well as meeting individuals from various cultural and professional backgrounds.
