This Roadmap was the guide we wrote for ourselves:
2025 ROADMAP
We embarked on a process based on a question:
How to use creative processes to actively shape and partake in democratic life?
It interacts with art, community and political discourse. And many other things – it is constantly shifting and growing as a concept.
We already passed through two of three phases.
1] The first phase was a residency (01.-14.09.2025) – the way it’s understood in artistic contexts. This means that there is a space where we will gather for a period of time (two weeks, in this case), and co-create processes of discourse, experimentation and creation. There were 15 of us, living together for two weeks, a lot happened while we researched, lost and found our questions.
2] During this time we also organised the Keimling Fest (12.09.2025), in Carinthia | Koroška. Here we shared the processes that went on throughout the residency. It was very beautiful and fully created during the residency. Thank you for all the love that was gifted here.
3] The last phase of the project will be the Fruit (11.01.2026), taking place in Vienna. This is an event where we will harvest the ripened fruits of the creative processes that took place throughout the residency, reflect and share.
Our intention is to edit the research question in a community process and elaborate possible answers to it, in creative ways. We want to connect people and create a platform to share thoughts, ideas and dreams.
This edition was funded by the European Union.
