kritilab is an open source pool for teachers and educators to share current and daring examples of critical teaching in the arts. Initiated by students and teachers at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich it functions as a discrimination-critical laboratory at the interface of art, education and teaching. As such, kritilab offers plenty of space for new, experimental ideas on how the subject of art can be understood, thought about and practically organised in schools.

Collective Research, Publishing

The search window in the library or archive catalogue opens doors and gates to new worlds. But what we often don’t think about when typing in search terms is that this window is designed, built and maintained. It has different lenses that allow us to see certain things very clearly, but other things only blurred and outlined – for example, texts from marginalised groups. To find some things, it is enough to enter one word, for others we need a multitude of search terms until we find the information we are looking for. Some things cannot be found at all. Every search query, every effort to obtain information is characterised by the actions and decisions of librarians, information scientists and developers who shape the framework conditions for our search. They describe, name and categorise, and their attitudes, opinions and cultural situations play a role in this. In passing, they shape decisions that are political.
