Ái-Như is an illustrator living in Hamburg. Her current work deals with sibling relationships - the biologically given and the chosen ones - and how these shape one's own understanding of togetherness and care, as well as the subject of growing up with collectivistic values in a hyper-individualistic society. She uses the architecture of playgrounds and labyrinths to locate memories and illustrate conflicts of thought.
Jasmin Hantl
I live and work in Hamburg. I am interested in organic life forms, plant coexistences and workplaces, which I investigate through drawing processes and express through intuitive sculptural creation. In addition to my own artistic work, I am in a collaboration to create mixed media editions.
Lola Bott
Based in Hamburg, I specialize in sculpture and social design, emphasizing my interest in spaces, textile fibers, and techniques. Engaging in collaborative projects, I recently contributed to the space design for the Urban Curating symposium "Alles ist schon da" at PARKS in May 2023. Since October 2022, I have been involved in the collective project "How Social is your knitting?," aiming to transform knitting into a collective tool that fosters connections between people and spaces.

Liza Beutler is a socially engaged artist and designer in Hamburg. She is interested in urban spaces where political and social questions are at hand. Her practice involves performative action and small interventions. As part of the collective "Serviervorschlag" she works against displacement through demolition. The collective is developing an archive form that tells the stories of the people behind the facades. With the intention of starting a dialogue the collective creates situations, such as eating together or going for neighborhood walks.
