🪧 HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING? 🪧
Before there is certainty, there is a decision. Before expertise, a claim. Before knowledge, a leap.
We’re proud to announce the jury for the next annual CIVIC Billboard, an Open Call launched by CIVIC at the Basel Academy of Art and Design, moderated by Matylda Krzykowski, artistic lead of CIVIC.
Each year, CIVIC invites students, employees, alumni (groups/teams with at least one person from the HGK cosmos are also welcome) to claim the billboard as a site of public negotiation. This year’s theme — HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING? — welcomes works that speak to finding your own way—through internal feeling and external response. It turns the spotlight on authority, doubt, intuition, systems of validation, and the fragile structures that shape us. We like to see and read something on the billboard about that inner dialogue that might not be about certainty.
