This present time is characterised by numerous social, technological and ecological processes of change and subsequent multiple crises. These are so deeply interwoven that we can no longer confront them individually but only by interlinking their practices and their protagonists on a broad basis.

IMPACT24 is a transdisciplinary forum that asks the question: how can experiences within the arts, technology, urban spaces and the sciences as well as societal fields of knowledge, such as play, sport or crafts, operate and be effective across contexts and disciplines?

Which configurations and practices will succeed in translating existing insights into radically different - yet simultaneously concrete - possibilities and scenarios? What techniques and activities, rituals and forms of play, and which protagonists and spaces should be taken into consideration in order to make the critical design processes of our societies more accessible, more inclusive and fundamentally more diverse? How can artistic and other emancipatory practices of transformation, activation, care and sharing be brought together? What roles do spaces of unpredictability, difference and ambivalence play within this evaluation?
