Yumiko Ono (Japan)
Yumiko Ono (Japan) explores utopian themes in her work, drawing inspiration from Brutalism and socialist architecture from both East and West. She merges ceramic elements with architecture to question the boundaries between the two. In her project at the Keramikkünstlerhaus, she aims to take inspiration from the region’s Brutalist architecture and unrealized architectural plans to create a fictional structure – a universal, peaceful space that feels familiar yet exists nowhere.

Magdalena Maros (Poland)
In the planned project “TRACES OF THE CITY – DIALOGUES OF SILENCE”, Magdalena Maros (Poland) explores the subtle traces a city leaves in our perception and memory. Neumünster becomes the stage for her reflections. In a sketchbook-like work composed of reliefs, collages, and cyanotypes on porcelain, the artist connects physical and emotional imprints. For her, porcelain symbolizes the fleeting nature of moments – fragile yet indelible.
