Founding Phase
In spring 2021, we started with a small team of cultural educators and artists. Initial workshops took place in rented rooms, and the equipment was modest. The focus was on building a trusting network.
Growth Phase
From 2022, permanent cooperation partners from schools and communities joined. We developed modular workshop formats that could be adapted to different age groups and prior knowledge. Demand increased steadily.
Establishment Phase
Since 2023, we have had our own mobile studios and a permanent office in the city center. Regular exhibitions and open studio days make our work visible. The team has grown to ten permanent employees.
A three-day print workshop with young people laid the foundation for the later program. The number of participants was limited to 15, and all places were taken.
Together with the library, a monthly creative workshop for children was created. The format quickly became a permanent part of the city's cultural offerings.
With a converted delivery van, we drove to three villages in the area. The action reached over 80 participants, including many families.
A former retail space became a permanent venue for workshops, meetings, and small exhibitions. The opening exhibition showcased works from previous projects.
A group of 12 lay curators realized their own show under guidance. The exhibition ran for three weeks and attracted around 400 visitors.
Culture and education are not separate worlds. We create spaces where creative collaboration becomes the engine for new forms of learning – beyond rigid curricula and entrenched hierarchies.
Openness as an attitude Every person brings their own experiences and perspectives. Our project thrives on the willingness not only to tolerate this diversity, but to actively involve it in the design process.
Creativity as a method Whether analog drawing, digital composing, or collaborative curating – artistic techniques help us think about complex topics differently and develop new solutions.
Impact over growth Our success is not measured by reach or participant numbers, but by the question: Has the way people learn and work together changed?
Sustainability in the small Instead of one-off large events, we focus on long-term support. A project does not end with the exhibition – it begins the dialogue that is carried forward.
Our Self-Image
Our offerings are aimed at schools, cultural institutions, communities, and initiatives that want to develop creative educational formats. We accompany groups that wish to implement participatory projects – from the initial idea to the public presentation.
Target groups: educational institutions, cultural associations, open workshopsWe rely on collaborative processes in which all participants act as creators. Instead of pre-made concepts, we develop tailored formats together with the participants, allowing room for experimentation and independent learning.
Method: participatory, process-oriented, hybridWe communicate clearly, appreciatively, and without jargon. Our language is inviting but precise. We explain why we do something and leave room for questions. Mistakes are welcome – they are part of the learning process.
Principle: transparent, respectful, encouragingOur projects arise from practice and for practice. We work with real groups, real places, and concrete materials. Each project is a unique creation tailored to the needs of those involved – without standardized solutions.
Specialty: site-specific, needs-oriented, sustainable
