Hf(M)G – Hochschule für (Mit-)Gestaltung

Collectively imagining, shaping, and mediating care tools towards well-being and social safety at Karlsruhe University of Arts and Design (HfG Karlsruhe).

Environmental, geopolitical, social, and technological transformations have been challenging social relations and safety in societies worldwide. At HfG there is no exception, and our community’s wellbeing has also been impacted by various processes that require attention, listening, constant reassessment, readjustment, unlearning, training, and the development of support and care tools. Building on various initiatives that groups and individuals over the past years at HfG have already engaged in aimed at tackling problems and raising awareness of discourse, language, systemic issues, and social justice, this umbrella seminar was a joint endeavour to creatively, collectively, and with an intersectional approach update the HfG “Code of Conduct” and shape a series of proposals on how to improve the social well-being of our community. The aim was for the results of this collective endeavor to reach through all segments of our HfG community.
