Are.na is indispensable to our workflow. More importantly, it is the rare platform that represents many of our intellectual, aesthetic and political values. In 2023, we hosted the initial European release of the 2023 edition of the Are.na Annual. As a community event, we enjoyed a number of channel walkthroughs, inviting HfbK's Klasse Digitale Grafik as well as independent creatives. It was beautiful. There is a tautological Are.na channel that holds some of our fondest memories.

Heartfelt thanks to Louise and Florian Kunth of ISLAND, HfbK professors Knoth & Renner and most importantly to Meg Miller and Cab Broskoski of Are.na for making this happen. Photos by Anne Levy and Malte Müller.
