Madeleine Schwinge, Founder
re:future lab is an independent institute for art and future design based in Berlin, Germany, with rhizomatic connections beyond.
We are inspired by the complex challenges facing humanity today: climate change, artificial intelligence, cultural conflicts. Our passion is to explore issues that shape the future and, through art, see how they can lead to creative breakthroughs and transformative ideas.
To turn our vision into reality, we actively build bridges between art, science, and society. We work with leading universities, cultural institutions, associations, innovative companies, strategy consultancies, and design agencies.
Anchored in a metamodern culture and informed by artistic research, strategy, and dialogue, we offer a multidimensional program spanning exhibitions, artist talks, panel discussions, symposia, workshops, and publications.
To foster ingenuity and leadership through art-based consulting services, we share our expertise in art, artistic research, systemic thinking, and value-driven strategy design with creative and entrepreneurial minds on a case-by-case basis.
Since our founding in 2020, we have earned a sound reputation as a curation and outreach platform that addresses key future issues through multisensory projects and transdisciplinary knowledge transfer.
Discover our collection of projects spanning exhibitions, conferences, symposiums, artist talks, panel discussions, workshops, and interviews.
