15.06.2024 – Workshop with ____THEK & Mission Lifeline
With ____THEK and Mission Lifeline we held a illustration & print workshop at Noplace, as kick-off event of the „Sketch&Rescue“ Campaign of Mission Lifeline.
____THEK:
“I’d love to do something, but I don’t know how.” – Do you know this thought? Of course, we do too – that’s why, together with the humanitarian organisation Mission Lifeline, we’ve found a first answer over the past few months on how you can easily support. 3 ways from here, at work or on the couch.
www.SUPPORTYOURLOCALDEALER.org
SKETCH&RESCUE*:
Grab a pen and send us a sketch of how you would visualize “solidarity.” Upload it, and you’re done. *We can use your sketch to create new solidarity products and campaigns – proceeds go directly to humanitarian projects. Once your illustration appears on a product, you will of course receive one. Your name will naturally be credited as part of the design.

17.09.2022 – "BRATNICE" Exhibition by Luca Gaspard
„As my father’s son and grandson of my grandparents, Slovenia has always been part of my inculturation, an invisible part that I have now given shape to through my photographs on the trip to „Bratnice“. Bratnice is a small village near Ljubljana, the capital, where my family built a wooden hut about 35 years ago right near the birthplace of my grandfather. After my visits I added my own stories and pictures, and got to know Slovenia and its people from a new side. This also meant partially detaching myself from the ideas of my father and those of my grandparents. My own investigation into the role that status plays in both a post-socialist Slovenian reality and the capitalist Western system. How are my Slovenian and German roots compatible for me? Where does the pursuit for the relevant status symbols derive itself from? And are material ideas still so formative?“
