Philip Wiegard

From 2025 to 2027, Dortmunder Kunstverein will host a laboratory for practical and intercultural knowledge transfer, focused on crafts. In a Kids’ Factory workshop, Philip Wiegard will collaborate with a group of children to create a custom wallpaper design using the Herrnhut paste paper technique. This striking pattern will be the rhythmic backdrop for a diverse programming in collaboration with local partners. It will transform the laboratory into a hub for sharing skills while learning about diverse cultural identities
