SBYD.SPACE explores new climate-neutral and resource-light ways of living and production. It transfers knowledge from sustainability research into society and the economy through design. The capability of design in making theories and abstract concepts tangible – and transferring them into everyday life – is used to explore, discuss, and test these theories and ideas in practice.
SBYD.SPACE engages with diverse audiences and collaborators through a range of formats, including workshops, international symposia, exhibitions, an artist / designer in residence program and support for entrepreneurial endeavours. It is located at Folkwang University of the Arts’ North Campus at the UNESCO World Heritage Site Zollverein, a former coal mine in Germany’s Ruhr region – a location that could not be more symbolic for the transformation of industries, ways of life, and entire regions.
SBYD.SPACE is participating in the exhibition “FRUCHTBARE STRUKTUREN
Eine Laborausstellung für vernetztes Denken und Handeln”.
The Space for Textiles is offering a workshop on textile techniques, providing foundational knowledge in tufting, weaving, knitting, and felting.
As part of the exhibition “FERTILE STRUCTURES – Laboratory exhibition for networked thinking and action”, the SPACE FOR TEXTILES and the SPACE FOR REPAIR are hosting a walk-in workshop on redesigning and repairing clothes and electrical appliances: Bring an item of clothing or an electrical appliance that you no longer wear or use. We have a repair kiosk and numerous patches made from a wide variety of old textiles. Come along and we’ll help you breathe new life into old clothes and electrical appliances!
