Become part of an experimental summer school within the framework of the European Capital of Culture Chemnitz 2025!

The School of Garage is an international art, activism, and design workshop – taking place in… garages! Nine temporary ateliers will become spaces for collective making, repairing, building, and designing futures based on solidarity and sustainability.

This is a unique opportunity to:
– work in an international, interdisciplinary team
– connect design, technology, and social engagement
– take part in the final exhibition at the former tram depot in Chemnitz

We especially invite you to apply for Garage 2: HackLab, led by Prof. Dominika Sobolewska and Karin Pisarikova, in collaboration with Mateusz Rukowicz and the Chaostreff Chemnitz team.

During HackLab, we will transform a garage into an open technology atelier for collaborative coding, experimenting, and designing. The workshop merges a tech lab (focused on coding and prototyping) with a makerspace (material experiments and upcycled design).

The workshop is led by Prof. Dominika Sobolewska – designer, curator, and lecturer, head of the Mindful Design Studio for Interactive Spaces and Objects, and curator of the project empathicdesign.eu.
