Critical Mapping
Based on a long tradition of counter-cartographies from the fields of art, science and political activism, we use the power of maps to make marginalized perspectives visible. Collective mapping is a playful tool to take a joint look at spatial structures and processes, to question power and power relations and to develop perspectives for emancipatory approaches.
Popular Education
We see our educational work in the tradition of “educação popular” (Paulo Freire) as a dialogue of learning that, starting from the concrete everyday environment, is intended to empower people to critically reflect on and change it.

Colorful & Moving
Colourful and moving are our street art workshops, murals, videos and experiments in the world of sounds and images.
Activist Research
Rooted in the tradition of action research, especially militant research, we practice a constant dialogue between action and reflection. Our collective activist context forms the basis of our investigation and defines its orientation.
