More clearly than ever before, the immense impact of human activity on the planet is showing its effects. The climate crisis and its life-threatening consequences in the form of heat or floods, the excessive waste of resources, the legacy of colonialism and the growing social and economic inequality pose new challenges to humanity. The Anthropocene - a new Earth age - has begun, and we must ask ourselves: How can we think and shape a just and livable future together?

In the extensive program of OPEN SPACE, experts will discuss topics of urban design, environmental justice, alternative economy, shrinking living spaces and the scope for action within the multiple crises of our time. In addition, there will be readings, poetry slams and film screenings, numerous dance and art workshops, as well as conversations about how the complex relationship of human beings to their living environment is reflected in works of art and in urban space.

Look forward to guests like:
Reza Afisina, Karima Benbrahim, Friedrich von Borries, Club Real, Peter Emorinken-Donatus, Nikita Dhawan, Raphael Hillebrand, Andrea Hofmann, Imeh Ituen, Fatima Khan, Stefania Koller, Cate Lartey, Christa Müller, Boniface Mabanza Bambu, Ray Milan, Anh-Linh Ngo, Tonny Nowshin, Serge Palasie, Jean Peters, Eva von Redecker, Hilal Sezgin, Betty Schiel, School of Political Hope, Lynn Takeo Musiol, Jacques Tilly, Françoise Vergès, Andreas Weber, Wochenklausur and many more.
