When was the last time you were really courageous, or when did you wish you were more courageous?

When we think about courage (including overconfidence), many questions arise, and it becomes interesting to consider what defines this human trait, what it does to us, and how today’s society and the younger generation need it. Let’s take a look inside ourselves and humanity—from all angles—there are no wrong ones—consider small and large ideas and conduct experiments.

W H A T   I S  N E E D E D today: a lot of courage.

That’s why we want to learn as much as possible, try things out, and convey to others in our own individual ways, providing impetus and experiences to be courageous. In the spirit of “COURAGE & ME & BEING” and “being courageous” = M U T I C H.

Any medium is possible and teamwork is welcome.
Let’s dare to say more about: M U T I C H.

I look forward to seeing you!

In preparation:

— Lead typesetting workshop in Augsburg (daring to try an old craft)
— AI graphic design workshop (1 or 2) here at the FG (daring to explore completely new ways of working and thinking in our profession)
— Conversation with a carpenter who has just spent four years traveling (daring to embrace life with nothing but himself and his skills. Graphic designers used to do this too);
— Possibly also a conversation with a queer person and their coming out
— Challenge for ourselves

Excursion under consideration:

Essen and Düsseldorf, exhibitions at the Museum Folkwang (William Kentridge), Düsseldorf K20 and K21 (including queer artists of modernism from 1900 to 1950), as well as the Kunstpalast, NRW-Forum, etc.
