Let yourself be inspired!
Whether workshops, performances or exciting talks - here you will experience creative ideas and fresh perspectives for more sustainability in culture.
Connect yourself!
Meet people from art, culture, business, science and civil society. Exchange ideas, brainstorm and make plans for joint projects.
Help shape it!
Your opinion counts! Join the discussion and contribute your perspective - together we'll make the handprint of culture bigger.
Who else is at the start?
The line-up is as colorful as the change itself:
Museums, theaters, libraries, independent collectives, cultural offices, initiatives, start-ups and research institutes - everyone is there to think new ways and shape the future together.
The panels are also full of practitioners, researchers and political voices meeting artists, performers and interactive formats. Many contributions focus directly on the "handprint" - sometimes as a collective question, sometimes as an artistic experiment or political statement.
And around it? There's also something for the senses: art events, open regulars' tables, guided tours, a delicious food court and lots more.
