About me

For years, the traditional protest strategies seemed to me insufficient in relation to the crises piling up higher and higher.

In 2018, I had the idea of founding an initiative to develop answers to the challenging ecological issues of our time from the field of art. Since then, my idea of activism has changed again and again. A decisive influence on my idea of a contemporary and progressive activism has been the ideas of a meta-modernity in which we live and that of a social sculpture as developed by Joseph Beuys. I am also interested in anthroposophical, Christian, Buddhist and indigenous perspectives and cosmologies and values, Charles Eisenstein’s concept of a living planet and the ideas of post-activism as coined by Bayo Akomolafe.
