The concept of the »useful museum« sees art institutions as places for social responsibility and defines curatorial practice as social practice. This is where the »Non-Conference« comes in and asks: What if educators took over the museum?

In open workshops, radio discussions, lectures and over a shared meal, we want to think about topics such as health, technology, education and society from an artistic perspective.

We will be guided by the following scenarios:
What if museums were responsible for society's wellbeing? 
What if museums changed our notion of technology?
What if museums inspired us to do things artistically?
What if educators took over the museum?

Radio broadcast
Starting Thu, 21.03., 3:15 pm

    *Workshops

    SPIN THAT YARN & LET'S SEND LOVE 
    COLA TAXI OKAY e.V.

    Together, we create beautiful pompoms out of yarn in a colorful and cozy seating area. These pompoms will then be lovingly connected to form a carpet that will adorn the space of COLA TAXI OKAY, making the workshop participants an integral part of the intercultural association. In this inspiring environment, we have plenty of space for exchange.

    LET'S SEND LOVE provides the opportunity to extend the reach of the Non-Conference beyond the borders of Karlsruhe. Postcards, stamps, and a mailbox will be available in our thoughtfully designed corner, where we invite participants to capture their experiences and spread joy.

    Museum Educators are MehrWert*!
    Das Bündnis für kulturelle Bildung
    Marcel D'Apuzzo, Simon PfeffelBirgit Reich and Annie We 

    What would be appropriate fees for museum educators? What could a fair and rewarding collaboration between freelancers and museums look like? How to negotiate and can I do that at all? Come along to the open discussions, contribute your questions, experiences, and needs, take away important know-how to set your fees and a lot of self-confidence for negotiations! Freelance mediators as well as museum employees and patrons are invited.

    Any Idea? How to Work with Digital Tools in Art and Design
    DiDAE – Digital Didactics in Art Education
    Helena Schmidt and Franziska Thurner 

    The workshop is based on the ERASMUS+ project »Digital Didactics in Are Education« (didae.eu), in which tools for artistic and creative work in the digital space were collected and analyzed. Based on the web platform DIDAE.eu, we are presenting a game that helps to convey and get to know the digital toolbox in analog space. The platform represents around 100 free tools of varying complexity from the categories of drawing, animation, design, sound and beyond. In the workshop, we will get to know and experiment with these tools and reflect together on possible application scenarios for the digital tools.

    Consultation with KIMCHI, KOJI AND KOMBUCHA 
    Kitchen_Ferm_Lab
    Max Kosorić and Fanny Kranz 

    Fermentation is the oldest form of food preservation. With the help of various microorganisms, refinement processes are created that release new and delicious flavours. After many intensive workshops on the topic of wild fermentation, the Kitchen_Ferm_Lab has moved from the kitchen to the garden and now to the exhibition rooms of the Non_Conference. Since 2020, the two art educators and designers Fanny Kranz and Max Kosoric have been fermenting together with many different.

    Write your picture. AI experiments with »text-to-image« generators
    Christina Zartmann and Sabine Jäger  

    Everyone is talking about artificially generated images, but have you ever used an image generator? After a brief introduction, we invite you to experiment with AI software yourself at our hands-on stations and discuss the new developments together.

    AI-generated images are images that are created by computers using artificial intelligence. This technology enables machines to generate realistic images by learning patterns and structures from large amounts of data and then using them to create new images. The AI is controlled via so-called »prompts«, which are written instructions or questions that are addressed to AI models in order to obtain specific outputs.

    Meme-thinking and Meme-making / TikTok: The Art of Recreation
    Cem A. und Lilli Roser 

    Meme-thinking and Meme-making
    The first half of the workshop is called Meme-thinking. In this part, we will discuss theories ranging from media and cultural studies to art history, illustrating how memes can be contextualized within this framework. In the second half (titled Meme-making), we will go through the step-by-step process of making memes and start creating memes together in a collaborative format. Please bring your smartphone and install the app mimetic.

    TikTok: The Art of Recreation
    We will dive into the dynamics of TikTok culture in the first half, exploring trends, memes and the specific storytelling of the platform. In the second half of the workshop, it's all about hands-on creativity as we (re)create TikTok content together in smaller groups. Please bring your smartphone and install the app TikTok.

    What happens when the museum opens up to visitors? - Opportunities for new approaches through cultural participation and participatory developments in the age of digitalization
    Erdmännchen&Bär 
    Felix Bastam and Sebastian Jähnke

    Creating cultural participation is an important task for museums. Digitalization opens new ways to create diverse access. Through a close exchange with different target groups, museums can recognize their needs, develop empathy, and generate ideas. During the workshop, we will develop ideas together on how we can make our offers more inclusive and accessible. Over the course of the day, we will collect ideas in different groups, discuss questions and find many answers together.
