Anne Karrenbrock, Klara Hens

In a world calling for change, the workshop seeks to ignite the spark of collective transformation by merging the realms of singing and designing collaboratively. We are driven by a vision where participatory practices empower individuals to reclaim their futures, making them both the creators and catalysts of profound social and ecological shifts. This workshop invites participants to delve into the potent intersection of creative expression and socio-political engagement. The workshop is structured in three segments: Discussing Co-design and Activism, 2. Vocal Painting, 3. Reflection and Discussion. The workshop is an attempt to create a space where individuals grow as confident agents of change, ready to make quieter voices resonate loudly within their communities.
