Workshop Journal

The Workshop Journal. Four entry points to the right content.

Theoretical foundations, Alexandra’s perspective, workshop news and media: the Journal directs you to the right content without mixing everything together.

Each entry below opens like a distinct door. You come here to understand a point, follow the workshop or find a specific resource — not to browse through a series of undifferentiated texts.

“You do not learn only a gesture. You learn to see, to judge and to hold a standard.”Alexandra Schmitz
