IMPACT25 runs under the theme of “Countercrafts: On Practices of Resistance, Repair and Reworlding” and  sees itself as a transdisciplinary symposium for strategies for dealing with the future. This is where practices and blueprints from the arts, sciences, urban space, architecture and other fields of research come together. In times of deepening inequality, narrow discourses and authoritarian attacks on democratic achievements, there is a need for spaces in which counterstrategies can be developed and tested, affects negotiated, and complex perspectives made visible. It takes place from 17 – 20 October 2025.

IMPACT25 is aimed at practitioners and theorists from the fields of the arts, science, journalism, technology, activism, social work and architecture.

Remuneration for the participation in the symposium with own contributions within the framework of the Assembly, Travel costs, Accomodation.
