Who are you – and who could you be?
In the project NextGenGirls, you have the opportunity to find out exactly that. It is not just about drawing or creating – it is about you, your ideas, and your story.
Through collages, drawings, and creative exercises, you'll explore what makes you who you are. You'll work with colors, symbols, and shapes to express your personality and develop your own style step by step.
You will have the space to try things out, contribute your opinion, and discover new sides of yourself.
Character design as an expression of identity
The focus of this project is the creative exploration of identity, role models, and societal expectations. It combines art, design, photography, and other forms of creative expression with social issues, and is aimed at young women who want to develop their own style, create creative concepts, and engage with topics such as identity, body image, and modern femininity.
As part of the character design process, participants develop their own characters, which are often more than just fantasy: they are alternative versions of themselves, reflections of their strengths, desires and challenges – from this emerge stories, perspectives and new viewpoints on themselves.
What awaits you?
- Develop your own characters (from idea to finished design)
- Discover what makes you unique – your strengths, your story
- Working creatively with collages, drawing, photos & videos
