in a digital-first world , Knowledge Transfer Lab – November 20 and 21, 2024, Übersee Museum Bremen

New Narratives is a digital storytelling programme which aims to create a cross-sector approach to refugee and asylum seeker civic participation in Folkestone. We’ll explore concepts such as empathy, inclusion and how we can reach communities to have constructive and meaningful conversations. You’ll also formulate a practical experiment(s) that connect to your organisation’s goals and/or an existing project over four months after the lab.

As we continue to innovate in audience development, how should our internal practices evolve?
A 2-day workshop with strategic impulses, Q&A with international experts and a premiere of a new story show.

Today I talked about my conditioning education program “Artistic Literacy”. “Artistic Literacy” opens up new perspectives on one's own educational, communicative, and artistic activities and opens up doors to shaping of our cultural world with others. Participants are introduced to artistic, communicative, and educational strategies. They acquire the ability to make creative encounters effective for social processes. The topics offered integrate methods from the fields of communication, digitality, fine arts, design, art education and participatory practices.

In this humorous and intentionally distant-to-science workshop, we take the freedom to leave out current trends in research and artistic production. Instead, the participants are invited to engage with their own state of not-knowing and transform it into a self-aware stance. We do not ask ourselves what to do. We practice trust in our own intuition. How do we as individuals and as a group actually want to evolve in the future? This workshop is for all people who want to humorously employ more meaning, purpose, and foremost pleasure into their individual and joint academic and artistic lives.

Intuitives Forschen. Intuitives Lehren und Vermitteln
FORSCHUNGSWERKSTATT: PhD-Programm Art and Design Education, Zurich Academy of Arts and Design, Zurich, Switzerland
2022/09/24

Nicht erst seit der Zunahme von Doktoratsprogrammen an Kunsthochschulen wird über vermeintlich richtige Strategien und Methoden in der kunst-basierten und designnahen Forschung spekuliert (vgl. z. B. Tröndle, Warmers, 2012). In diesem humoristischen und bewusst wissenschaftlich-fernen Workshop erlauben wir uns aktuelle Strömungen in Forschung und Lehre auszublenden. Stattdessen sind die Teilnehmenden eingeladen sich auf den eigenen Zustand des Nicht-Wissens einzulassen und diesen in eine selbstbewusste Haltung zu transformieren. Wir fragen uns nicht, was wir tun sollen. Wir üben uns in Vertrauen. Wie wollen wir forschen, lehren, und vermitteln?

A chain is always as strong as its weakest link. A museum is only as strong as the individuals working for the museum. When each and every individual is seen, valued, and supported in their own organization; if we all contribute with our individual talents and goals, the organization will develop strengthened and authentically, and all our partners will benefit.

Deep Listening, Intro-Talk at “Queer at FHNW”, Basel, Switzerland, December 2021

A university is often a place of questions and answers, the right answers. We are used to research, talking, writing, passing on knowledge, absorbing knowledge, and reproducing knowledge. One quality that sometimes falls short is deep listening.
