Eine Krise bekommen
As a collective, we critically engage with teaching practices as well as the structures of art universities, organizing formats for exchange, learning, and action. We (Destina Atasayar, Katharina Brenner, Lu Herbst, and Lucie Jo Knilli) studied together in the Visual Communication Bachelor’s program at the University of the Arts Berlin, where we first came together as a collective while collaborating on the publication Eine Krise bekommen. From 2021 to 2023, we organized readings, lectures, workshops, and a summer school.

Reading and Release Party of the publication “Eine Krise bekommen”

Courtyard of the main building of the University of the Arts Berlin (Hardenbergstr. 33, 10623 Berlin)
19.07.2021, 6 PM

The texts from the student publication Eine Krise bekommen were read. The editors invited people to join in the discussion, enjoy delicious drinks and browse through the book.

The students at the Berlin University of the Arts are having a crisis. They are angry about injustice and discrimination and are writing critically about the effects of the pandemic, ambivalent identities and the political responsibility of the art university. The anthology “Eine Krise bekommen” deals with these considerations out of the urge to make underrepresented conflicts and student perspectives visible.

The publication is part oft the series “Visuelle Kultur” from the department “Geschichte und Theorie der visuellen Kultur” of the Berlin University of the Arts, emerging from the seminars “Kritische Digitalität” (2020) and “Eine Krise bekommen” (2020) lead by Kathrin Peters.
