2024/25 SS In times with no reason for optimism, 11 projects »start [...] not from fear and enclosure, but from hope and overflowing.« (John Holloway). They are engaging for humble changes within a ~ hopefully ~ bigger emancipatory transformation, together with partners in the “real world”. The projects range from circular material flows to repair, from reclaiming inclusive common spaces in the city to redesigning a school yard with the kids, from unheard stories of mountain ecosystems to sustainable tourism, from collective approaches to climate crisis to digital protest.
