Driving the Human Festival

Logo with the words "Driving the Human" and an abstract wave form in blue and pink.

The ZKM and Karlsruhe University of Arts and Design (HfG) cordially invite you to join the opening festival »Driving the Human« which takes place from November 20–22, 2020 and will be broadcasted via live stream. The press might switch on, ask questions, and participate in discussions.

The opening festival, which will be free and accessible entirely online, will showcase and critically engage with the urgencies of our time, publicly discussing and condensing questions and visions for shaping a sustainable and collective future. Taking place in Karlsruhe and being broadcasted digitally across the globe, the festival invites scholars, artists, designers, and other multidisciplinary participants to launch a debate on the themes currently defining our existence – from the human to non-human, from existence to co-existence, from digital to analog. The festival formulates the questions that will orient the next phase of the »Driving the Human« investigation.
