Katharina Brackemann
Collective Practice
Katharina Brackemann works with collaboration as part of the design process. For her graduation project, “Believing in Together”, she travelled to Mexico, Chile, Australia and Indonesia to meet creative collectives. The encounters resulted in a publication and short film documenting different approaches to working together.
In 2022, Brackemann founded “TOPYA”, a workshop format in which participants imagine alternative realities and possible futures. The outcomes are documented in formats including zines. Her approach draws on speculative design and feminist approaches to future-making.
After completing her bachelor’s degree in Communication Design at Potsdam University of Applied Sciences, she is now studying Trends & Identity at Zurich University of the Arts. Alongside her own practice, she works across collective and interdisciplinary contexts.
