Daniela Brasil, Bernhard König
Graz, Austria
Our work is committed to investigate and engage with some of the urgencies that the present ecological and social challenges push us to. We understand that sustainable and inclusive futures should be nurtured by enlarging our capacity of re-imagining and actively co-creating the world we – and all planetary creatures – want to live in together. Besides aligning our thoughts and practices with worldviews of interconnectedness, this website frames our work into the categories of art, architecture, landscape, public space // research, education, event, exhibition, publication. Nevertheless, if we meet personally sometime, we will surely tell you these stories otherwise…

Daniela Brasil
Daniela Brasil is an artist, activist, curator, educator and researcher. She grew up in a tropical concrete jungle on the shores of the Atlantic and lived in various bioregions until she moved to Graz in 2010. She studied Architecture and Urban Design in Rio de Janeiro, Environmental Urban Design in Lisbon and Barcelona and Social Sculpture in Oxford, and received her MFA and PhD in Artistic Strategies for Public Participation at Bauhaus University Weimar. She was teacher and researcher at Bauhaus University Weimar and the Institute for Contemporary Art at the Technical University of Graz.

Her work is very diverse, site and context specific, it takes shape through installations, performances, texts, the creation of spaces of encounters and learning environments for all ages… basically, the work focus on transformative and emancipatory learning processes, hopefully contributing to the construction of the pluriverse.
