Studio Clash is attempting to establish an agency in Basel—for one month—comprising twelve selected migrants, asylum seekers, or refugees from the creative industries around the world.

From November 5 to December 5, 2018, Basel is looking for creative, open, committed and tolerant personalities: calligraphers/font painters, audiovisual designers, programmers, consultants, copywriters, graphic designers, photographers, strategy experts, web designers, filmmakers, fashion designers, creatives, illustrators, 3D, scenographers and live communication, urban developers, architects.

The project aims to jointly explore ways of becoming active in the domestic market. Experience is exchanged in the Clash of Visual Culture. This is also how Studio Clash's motto "United in Strangeness" should be understood, explains project initiator Jan Knopp: "We don't want to impose our Swiss approach to design on our creatives, nor do we want to design beautiful worlds without criticism." Studio Clash is politically independent, tentatively neutral and absolutely non-denominational. It stands up for respectful coexistence and defends this stance without compromise.

The project is being initiated by Jan Knopp (design), David Herrmann (text) and Hans-Jörg Walter (photography). The search for support from foundations, the city and private donors is in full swing.
