Our partners at the Berner Design Stiftung promote contemporary design from the Canton of Bern. Every year, they support designers from the canton of Bern working on specific projects and with personalised offers. You can find an overview of the funding possibilities at https://www.bernerdesignstiftung.ch/foerderung/. This year’s call for proposals ends on 10 August 2021.

Have you already taken a look at the Walk & Talk of the Finale 21 exhibition? Thomas Strässle takes you on a tour of the Division Design and Fine Arts diploma exhibition, with conversations with students, alumni, lecturers, and course directors. We only play a supporting role, but it’s still entertaining 😉: https://www.hkb.bfh.ch/de/aktuell/kulturelle-veranstaltungen/diplomveranstaltungen/gk-finale-21-21-06-28/





Der Höhepunkt des Studienjahres ist, wenn die Studierendenabschlussarbeiten im Fachbereich Gestaltung und Kunst gezeigt und verhandelt werden – coronabedingt mit eingeschränkten Besuchsmöglichkeiten.

Support the crowdfunding “Foodcoops für Alle!” of our lecturer turned student and hopefully soon again lecturer Florian Jakober (Afrika). In his master project, he develops a starter kit and a web platform so that all of you who are interested can build up your own co-op in your neighborhood. So if you are interested in this new sustainable approach to food distribution, feel invited to support it at https://wemakeit.com/projects/foodcoops-fuer-alle.





‼️First post of us since one year – must be something important‼️



The past months we focused on a self initiated project that doesnt exactly live on planet graphic design:



We are building up a network of foodcoops to empower people to take grocery shopping in their own hands.



In other words: Fuck you big supermarket chains, everybody now organises their own neighbourhood based food supply.



Why? Because in switzerland that’s more or less the only way to do so entirely sustaineable and still be able to pay for it.



(And it’s more fun than walk along supermarket shelves like a narcotised cow.)



Now we’re running a crowdfunding campaign for that and need your support: Please Donate!



Thanks 😘 Link in bio.

Our colleagues at the Institute of Design Research have recently completed an impressive project. Here is the Alain Findeli Online Library! “Alain Findeli is considered to be one of the leading design theorists of our time and the founder of design research in Francophone countries. His writings have been published in numerous books and journals, some of which are difficult to obtain. This gave rise to the idea of developing an online library in which Findeli's complete works would be made accessible to the public for the first time. The new online archive includes over 80 publications that Findeli published between 1986 and 2018.” Check it out at https://complete-works-alain-findeli.ch/.

We are delighted to see that our Almuna Lara Kothe will be giving a lecture together with HKB associate researcher Lucie Kolb at the Kunstuniversität Linz tomorrow. Lara already worked on the topic “Publizieren als Praxis” in her master thesis and is currently developing it into a PhD. If you would like to attend, register at viskom.info@ufg.at.
