Children and teenagers from CASA e.V. have been researching insects together with the artist Sandra Li. The exhibition features their drawings, photographs, and obituaries for dead insects.

(Re)use: Students at Mainz University of Applied Sciences are planning a diverse mix of residential and commercial spaces, cultural facilities, and retail outlets for the vacant department store. The robust structural framework of the building, which was constructed in 1972, will be reused in a circular manner—in the truest sense of the word.

Exhibition of the BDA Hessen university project.

With a project that focuses on public spaces as spaces vital to a democratic and open society, the BDA is participating in World Design Capital 2026.

The exhibition “Architecture Day 1995–2025 – Shaping a Sustainable Hesse” looks back on 30 years of architectural culture in Hesse. Using three current challenges in the building industry—housing, sustainability, and materials—as examples, it explores planning paradigms as reflected in their respective eras.

Organizer: Chamber of Architects and Urban Planners of Hesse (AKH), Wiesbaden.

The pop-up exhibition "CONSUMPTION and ME – From Department Stores to Shopping Apps" explores the relationship between consumption and us—and our democracy—from the early days of department stores to current issues surrounding online shopping, sustainability, and social participation.

It is both a history museum and a future lab: thus, it not only looks back but also invites visitors to participate and reflect. Together, visions for the future of consumption are to be developed and discussed. 

Project partner: Janine Seitz, futurist.

What exactly does an archaeologist do at a museum?

Following the introduction to traditional hand drawing, Part 2 of our drawing course continues next Wednesday with an exciting, modern alternative: the Laser Aided Profiler. This tool allows profile drawings to be digitally captured and processed using a laser.

All interested parties are cordially invited to get hands-on, create their own drawings, and gain insight into the processing of archaeological finds.

What exactly does a conservator do?

Not every hole has to be hidden. With visible mending, repairs become visible—and often even more beautiful than before. Together, we repair clothes, share knowledge, and give good things a second chance.

An event organized by KulturCampus Wiesbaden as part of World Design Capital 2026.

Event: "Sensitive Data – Listening to the Garden." Open to all interested parties—no prior knowledge required.

Ecosomatics views the body and the environment as a shared field—not humans in nature, but humans as part of a living urban fabric. The workshop combines guided sensory exercises outdoors with group reflection and opens up new perspectives on urban nature as social infrastructure—as a place of encounter, care, and a shared future.

Note: The workshop will take place in almost any weather. Please dress appropriately for the weather: comfortable clothing, a smartphone and headphones, curiosity, and an open mind.

Do you remember this? What’s the deal with the “White Weeks”? And what does a Berlin techno club have to do with department store history? In this guided consumer quiz, we’ll dive into the history of consumerism together—with surprises, shared memories, and the occasional “aha” moment. No buzzers, no stress. Just join in the fun. Prior knowledge? Not necessary. The main thing is to have fun.

Hosted by: Janine Seitz, curator of the exhibition “KONSUM und ICH” and founder of the Museum of Consumer Culture.

Participation is free. Registration recommended (limited space) at: infokonsummuseumde or by phone at 0176 99806148.
