At MATSCH-KÜCHE, design becomes a collaborative process.

Using clay, simple tools, and an open-ended assignment, participants create forms that do not emerge on their own: works are passed along, altered, expanded upon, and developed collaboratively from one round to the next.

The focus is not on the finished object, but on what happens in the process—exchange, reaction, communication, and the question of how working together can open up new perspectives.

The session combines playful approaches with collaborative practices and invites participants to let go of conventional notions of authorship, control, and artistic expression.

In the end, there is no finished sculpture. The clay is reused. What remains is the collective process.

This event is organized in collaboration with the Tyrolean Cultural Initiatives: TKI
