I’ll be working on the artistic project "Do it yourself" in which I will develop a manual for the household repairs. The specific core of this project is that I am interested in designing a "product" whose target audience are women. The aim of the manual is, on the other hand, to encourage them to engage with smaller repairs on their own and on the other hand to instruct them to have an easier communication with craftsmen. The work will be exhibited in June 2018 as the part of the exhibition project "Productive Work_what is it supposed to be" at frei_raum Q21 exhibition space.
