Designkiosk

Designkiosk – Workshop #6

The Designkiosk is an artistic intervention in the public space of the Musikerviertel in Offenbach. Serving as a mobile hub, it creates a starting point where people can gather—either intentionally or by chance—to view their surroundings in a new light and take action together. In cooperation with the City of Offenbach, the project invites people to explore the neighbourhood from a design perspective and contribute their own ideas.

As part of the Designkiosk series, various formats are being trialled that combine movement, dialogue, and creative work. This particular event focuses on an interactive podcast based in the Musikerviertel: talks and discussions will explore specific places and atmospheres within the urban environment, examined theoretically over a bowl of bean soup. How can public space be defined through an artistic-aesthetic lens? Which perspectives can be made visible? The aim is to raise awareness of and expand our understanding of the "right to the city".

The process will be guided by designer and artist Emre Yazar, who will support participants in bringing their ideas to life and provide impulses for collective design. The event is open to anyone interested—no prior experience is required, and participation is free of charge. The goal is to open up creative approaches to the neighbourhood and to strengthen public space as a site for exchange and collaborative creation.
