An evening of reflection, design and exchange: as part of the 23rd Art and Culture Mile, about:communication invites you to a special event that combines literature, design and dialog.

Fabienne Schovenberg will read from her book "Ist die Welt noch zu retten | Die Welt ist noch zu retten - auf der Suche nach Motivation beim Weltverbessern " - about sustainability, doubt, courage and dealing with a changing world. Her words open up spaces for thought and invite us to engage with the big questions of our time - and not least to a dose of appropriate, necessary, rational optimism.

Afterwards, designer Ada Matthes and designer Philippe Bietenholz will talk about their approaches to sustainable, future-oriented design. They will show how design opens up new paths with recycled materials, robotics and digital tools - and how objects are created that are not only functional but also emotionally relevant.

After the reading and lecture, questions, thoughts and lively discussions are expressly encouraged. In a relaxed atmosphere - with drinks, snacks and good conversation - we can share ideas about design, responsibility and the future.
