Image Review 2023

  • IMAGES

Even in the past year – in 2023 – CIVIC's motto, 'CIVIC is what you make of it,' became a reality: students, researchers, employees, and the general public initiated or joined interventions, readings, discussions, performances, workshops, exhibitions, and gatherings. They organized markets, bookshops, fashion shows, counseling sessions, money-free exchanges, concerts, and sleepovers. Enjoy a visual journey through one year at CIVIC.
