Now Our World is a bilingual, intergenerational living magazine. Young and old come together to explore various aspects of the topic of "living": different living concepts, the desire to design one's own living environment, and the fundamental right to space.
The magazine Now Our World sees itself as a wink and critique of existing glossy and beautiful living magazines and strives for an alternative approach. Through artistic research, living is examined both individually and as a societal issue. The magazine was created from January to July 2021 in the cities of Berlin, Leipzig, and Amersfoort (Netherlands). In each city, a team of children, teenagers, and seniors formed an editorial board, meeting regularly in digital and physical spaces, participating in expert workshops, and leading workshops on their areas of interest. Overall, over 80 young and older people were involved in the project and the creation of the magazine: they designed utopian houses, researched life on Mars, interviewed homeless people, traveled across the city to the final stop, supported each other in decluttering, developed a board game, and much more.
The results of this process are a print magazine and a website, which counteract lifestyle blogs and beautiful living magazines with realistic utopias and diverse representations. People who are rarely heard in the debate on living space and participation find a platform here.
The magazine can be read online on now.ongoing-project.org or ordered as a physical edition by emailing info@peira.space.
Do you have an idea for an art education project and would like to learn how to develop a concept and apply for funding? We offer a two-day training course at the Brücke-Museum on how to apply for funding, financial planning and legal forms. Participants have time to develop an educational concept. A selected concept will later be realized in the Brücke-Museum.
The workshop is primarily aimed at artists or artists with a history of migration. If there is still capacity, freelancers without a history of migration can also take part.
Date: April 11 and May 16, 1-6 p.m. (two-day training course)
