Design, Prof. Oliver KartakAccess to the university buildings is possible only with proof
of a negative PCR test (not older than 48h) between 8am and 8pm. Persons who have had a Corona infection within
the last 90 days do not need a PCR test. In this case, appropriate proof must be presented for access (recovery certificate,
isolation notice).
Whether in activist settings or pop-cultural scenes, Anja Kaiser
is looking for potential means to actively and collectively shape society. In cooperation with club culture activists and
various feminist groups she contributed to projects and their graphical translation. With a focus on deconstructionist approaches,
Anja works on at the junction of graphic design, art, music and forms of digital self-empowerment. Through her posters, animated
digital images and towel editions that carry her signature of radical aesthetics, she leverages a wider public awareness for
her topics. Anja Kaiser (born 1986, lives and works in Leipzig) is regularly invited to lectures and workshops in Germany
and abroad, most recently at the Biennale of Graphic Design in Chaumont or the Weltformat Graphic Design Festival in Lucerne.
In 2017 she was awarded the INFORM Prize of GfZK / Museum
In her lecture titled »Undisciplined
Toolkit« Anja presents a porous set of tools to call to unstable, chaotic and solidarity trends in graphic design. The toolbox
contains untold stories of the graphic design canon, a variety of unconventional surfaces and strategies to navigate the balancing
act between autonomous work and commissioned work.
