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 well-being 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 is a joint endeavor to creatively, collectively, and with an intersectional approach update the HfG code of conduct and shape a series of proposals on how to learn and live together and improve the social well-being of our community.
Simultaneously, this seminar will be an opportunity to apply the tools of media and mediation, theory and language, communication and audiovisual practices, space-making and performance toward an attempt of collectively shaping (Mit-Gestaltung) the environment we wish to work in together. Through reading groups, collective writing, role-play, somatic practices, graphic design, scenography, media, and performance, this seminar is a collaborative initiative from the equality team of the AStA, the Community Toolkit Workshop, the GSB team, a representative of the teaching staff from all departments at HfG, and of the Personal Rat.
We will kick off the seminar with a cross-departmental workshop to write together our own version of an awareness, care or "code of conduct"-like document for the HfG. Following that, a series of workshops will be offered by different departments along with a CTW-led reading circle. The goal is to perform, mutate, zoom in, inhabit and expand the contents of the document. Informed by all the different inputs, towards the end of the seminar, we will reconvene to update the document and bind the body of work produced and shape various forms of presenting, disseminating, publishing and performing it during the Rundgang. The aim is for the results of this collective endeavor to reach through all segments of our HfG community.
Join in to shape together Hf(M)G.
