CITIZEN'S ASSEMBLIES

Every aspect of democracy has been designed, therefore it can be designed differently. For the exhibition All In! Redesigning Democracy, the Bundeskunsthalle in Bonn and the Kunstgewerbemuseum in Dresden have commissioned two citizens’ assemblies. Thirty five randomly selected citizens came together in each venue to develop a list of recommendations on how the two museums could become more open, welcoming, and inclusive. Together with videographers Karnik Gregorian and Uwe Wröbel, the process and the outcomes of the citizens’ assemblies were processed into an artistic multi-media installation and presented in the exhibition. Both host institutions have committed to implement the citizens’ recommendations or react to them in another appropriate way. An exhibition project of the Bundeskunsthalle in Bonn and the Kunstgewerbemuseum Dresden. Completed in collaboration with Studio Folder, Jennifer Carniel, Augustina Lavickaitė, and Louisa Wolf.
