Project Funding: “Don’t Panic!” Political education from the home
In view of the current Covid pandemic, school operations were unceremoniously switched to home schooling.

Project Funding: “Raum für Geburt und Sinne” (“Room for Birth and the Senses”) – art project and prototype with a vision for the future

It consists of a walk-in clay body that makes it possible to directly experience the influence of space and environment on birth and physical regeneration processes. The art project represents a plea for a creative and contemporary approach to the topics of room and birth.
