What opportunities does design offer us to shape the way we live together? At this two-day festival, creatives from the fields of design, visual arts, architecture, performing arts, and film will demonstrate how our participation in society is shaped by design. And this takes place in 2026, when the Frankfurt Rhine-Main region will hold the title of World Design Capital under the motto “Design for Democracy.”

Now in its 20th year, “see” invites international creatives from all fields to Wiesbaden, making it one of the most important interdisciplinary design conferences in Germany. The highly acclaimed philosopher Eva von Redecker will open the conference with her keynote address.

Following Saturday’s inspiring presentations, the see-Camp on Sunday takes a more practical approach: speakers from the see-Conference, dedicated experts, and local initiatives will guide participants in advocating for democratic and sustainable coexistence.
