K72 is the preliminary name of a new project platform at Konradstrasse 72. From October 2024, the location, the homebase of the research project ยซdruckend denkenยป at the Department of Cultural Analysis and Education at the ZHdK, will be used by students and teachers of the Critical Social Practice in Art Education major for projects at the intersection of education and the arts.
How can a space become a widely accessible place of shared learning and experimentation, of critical thinking, action and reflection, which is available to those from our plural societies who need such a space right now? What social practices are used in such a space? And to what extent are they critical? How does K72 become a safer space instead of a braver space? How does opening work and for whom?
Developing the space K72 at the interface between studies and urban society is the current core project of the major ยซCritical Social Practice in Art Educationยป of the Master's in Art Education.
