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.
