We are delighted to share a very special design experience with you:
As part of her studies at Folkwang University of the Arts, Minna Sakura Friebe has designed a unique poster for KRASS e.V.!

The poster was created as a practical project and combines artistic creativity with the message of our work. What’s particularly exciting is that Minna used the typical colours of KRASS, but otherwise gave herself complete freedom and tried something completely new. With fresh colour schemes, strong imagery and an individual approach, her design highlights our themes – and sets an example for young engagement and creative freedom in Düsseldorf.

Official announcement: New Managing Director at KRASS

KRASS is delighted to announce that Carina Gonzalez Wohlenberg, previously Head of Finance, has been officially appointed Managing Director as of 1 June 2025 in accordance with Section 30 of the German Civil Code (BGB). Following careful and long-term strategic preparation, the appointment by the Executive Board has now also been confirmed by the court.

Carina Gonzalez Wohlenberg brings strong leadership qualities, determination and a clear vision, which she will now bring to the further development of the organisation in her new role. Her appointment marks a significant step for KRASS and sets the course for a future-oriented continuation of the joint mission.

After 15 years of dedicated and influential work at the helm, Claudia is stepping back from day-to-day operations, but will remain associated with the organisation as a board member and will provide constructive support during the transition.

KRASS is looking forward to continuing its collaboration and wishes Carina every success, joy and strength in her new role.

We are so grateful!

That’s 20,000 people affected in Düsseldorf alone. At KRASS, we give away cultural education so that a child’s background does not determine whether they are allowed to paint, dance or make music. For 25 euros we buy 5 paint boxes, for 50 euros an art therapist works with traumatised children for an hour. Will you help us?
