Coexist
Global Grad Show
Design to make the world better: Students from Germany are among hundreds from around the world taking part in Dubai’s Global Grad Show with innovative concepts on how to mitigate the collateral issues of the Corona-crisis. Their seven concepts originate from the Muthesius Academy of Fine Arts and Design Kiel, the Hochschule Pforzheim, the Academy of Media Art Cologne, the Technical University of Munich, the Technical University of Braunschweig and two of them come from the University of the Arts, Berlin.
Worldwide, a total of 390 projects by students, post-grads and professors from 125 universities in 40 countries are taking part in the Global Grad Show. The aim of the global initiative by the Art Dubai Group is to develop solutions to challenges in the context of the coronavirus pandemic that are not of a medical nature. The various ideas cover a wide range of disciplines from medical technology to game design. “This initiative and the rapid response it received shows the importance and impact of human creativity and humanity selflessly coming together to provide collective solutions to combat obstacles, no matter how large,” says Brendan McGetrick, Head of Curation of the Global Grad Show and Creative Director of The Museum of the Future.
The concepts put forward by German students tackle important challenges in an innovative way: Erik Mantz-Hansen from the Muthesius Academy of Fine Arts, for instance, developed “ClAir Tram.” Its concept of trams equipped with large-scale air purifiers and interiors designed with antimicrobial materials, places air quality and hygiene at the heart of public transport. Georgia von le Fort of the University of the Arts, Berlin, focuses on the topic of food storage. Her “Cooltainers” propose an electricity-free method to stock fresh food. Made from porcelain, they use a natural evaporation cooling effect to keep produce fresh. Other projects from around the world focus on topics like drone-enabled medical testing, smart tattoos that remind about hand washing, and innovative protective gear.
In the first round, Applications were evaluated by a jury including experts in innovation, technology and new ventures, whose input will inform the next assessment phase. For the next phase, Global Grad Show will engage with the students and professors behind these applications to analyze their development requirements, with the goal to identify proposals that can be supported towards testing and implementation. The creator or creators of any selected proposal will be awarded the tuition fee of their current studies, or equivalent scholarship for the department of selected professors along with support for the development of their concept and business building. Which projects will ultimately be supported, will be announced in the third quarter of 2020.

After fertilisation
To exist, although at the same time not to exist.
It is genetically impossible for hybrids to reproduce themselves.
They can perform the sexual act, even though the sexual urge is not strong.
Males are always infertile; occasionally fertile females occur.
Uncommon however not impossible, and with the duty to die in the end.

Allies & Champions 1&2
The “Allies & Champions” collection is for anyone who believes the fight for humanity, liberty and justice is mandatory. It is their proclamation. Join the movement.
Designing this collection I was inspired by Kimberly Williams Crenshaw’s theory of “intersectionality” where systems of oppression– such as racism, sexism, classism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia and belief-based bigotry– do not act independently of each other. Rather these forms of oppression interrelate creating a system that reflects the “intersection” of multiple forms of discrimination.
The Hambach Forest
At first sight it is only a forest.
The trees grow together, they displace each other, struggle for light and yet keep a respectful distance.
The Hambach forest is also a scene of political events. Here the question is being fought over who will be allowed to grow in the future?
On closer inspection of the forest, the deeper one looks into it, the different positions of contemporary society become clearer, spread out and form an almost impenetrable network.

Let’s start from scratch
We are at a turning point. For the first time in 75 years, there is once again the opportunity to start from scratch after the COVID-19 crisis and tackle the major problems: climate change, the environment, discrimination and poverty. It seems like math: what possibilities do you add, subtract, multiply or share with each other to achieve progress in this new society to be made?

Basic shapes, all different but indespensable to form a holistic impression of a complex image. To make a society work and coexist, it is necessary to accept the personal differences and different opinions that make us unique and give more room for the thoughts of others in your own mind.

NEW!NOW!
It is time to change the perspective with which we have seen the future so far and to reinterpret new values for our society and our Earth. Each of us has a small role in this great revolution. We are still in time, now!
Exitation
We exist, if we are outside, with the sun, surrounded by the people we care about, in nature. Now the feeling is to leave as soon as possible to meet, to embrace each other, to exist and to coexist.
Be kind, be color blind
In sociology, a color blind society is one where racial classification does not limit a person’s opportunities. Such societies are free from differential legal or social treatment based on their race or color. A color blind society has race-neutral governmental policies that reject discrimination in any form in order to promote the goal of racial equality. (Color blind, Wikipedia, may 26, 2020)
