We're delighted to share that Matters of Activity is part of this year's Berlin Design Week, taking place from 15-18 May 2025.

The BERLIN DESIGN WEEK presents new approaches and trends in a design culture focused on innovation and sustainability. As an international podium for contemporary design from teaching, research and practice, once a year it gathers the industry players and their most exciting interfaces in the capital of creatives.

BERLIN DESIGN WEEK is a platform for showcasing the diversity and depth of design in full. Design is seen in its entirety – not just as an aesthetic discipline, but as a means of offering solutions to social, technological and ecological issues. Design creates realities.
